Constant and continuing changes to federal, state, and local wage and hour laws have led to increased oversight, litigation, and enforcement initiatives. This webinar delves into mistakes commonly made by employers and endeavors to provide attendees with the tools needed to help find and fix potential wage and hour pitfalls.
Wage and hour compliance litigation is especially a legal minefield for employers and a gold rush for employee-side attorneys. With constant changes in minimum wage, overtime, paid and unpaid time off, and ever-changing salary thresholds for determining whether an employee is exempt from overtime pay, employers must be mindful of the risks posed by misclassifying individuals as overtime-exempt or independent contractors. Locations and laws vary jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Penalties like back taxes, unpaid wages, and attorneys’ fees may vary depending on location.
