Often, these claims stem from gaps between the realities of the modern workplace and existing law, or simple calculation errors that result in six, seven, or even eightfigure damages and settlements. Further complicating matters, both federal and state laws with respect to minimum wage and overtime obligations have changed significantly in recent years. This topic helps employers, human resources professionals, and employment litigators better understand common minimum wage and overtime issues, as well as pitfalls and compliance traps that have resulted in litigation in recent years.

In addition, the webinar will provide guidance regarding commonly litigated issues with the calculation of overtime, including issues stemming from bonuses, commissions, other forms of incentive compensation, andor varying rates of pay. Connectedly, the webinar will examine the evolving overtime and minimum wage exemptions in the postCOVID19 world and explore ways for employers to avoid misclassification claims.
