Description
Learn to navigate and cut through the tangled web of wage and hour law issues.
Companies are frequently faced with employee overtime lawsuits based on the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA), state, and local laws. Furthermore, wage and hour claims may be brought on behalf of a class and/or on a collective basis, which can multiply the scope of the litigation. If successful, employees may be able to recover unpaid wages, liquidated damages, other penalties, interest and attorneys’ fees and costs. This program will provide you with an overview of the federal, state, and local wage and hour laws and assist you in understanding best practices to avoid these claims.
