2025 FLSA Classification Guide for Small Business Owners
Get clear, accurate guidance to properly classify employees and contractors under the Department of Labor’s updated standard.
Designed for small business owners, managers, and Chamber members who want confidence and clarity — without the legal confusion.
I created a special Chamber rate so that every small business owner can afford to get this right.
What You’ll Get
This guide simplifies one of the most confusing HR topics into a clean, 4-page resource you can actually use.
Inside, you’ll find:
✔ A plain-English breakdown of the DOL’s new 6-factor “Economic Reality Test”
✔ A comparison chart that shows EXACTLY what matters
✔ Real-life examples specific to local industries (salons, pest control, boutiques, med spas, trades, and more)
✔ A 30-second decision tree to help you identify employee vs contractor
✔ Practical notes small businesses in Texas must understand for 2025
✔ A worksheet-style checklist to review your own roles
This is the resource people wish the government would create — but never does.
