New Wage & Hour Compliance Strategies: How To Avoid Huge Settlements, Fines And Worse Training Seminar
More than 75% of class actions nationwide were related to wage & hour from October 2007 thru March 2008. And according to a recent SHRM white paper, an alarming large number of employers are shelling out multimillion dollar wage & hour settlements.
And it could get worse. Recently the Government Accounting Office (GAO) issued two reports criticizing the enforcement practices of the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division (WHD). This recent reprimand could ignite a flurry of new claims from disgruntled employees.
Topics covered during this 90-minute audio-conference we will discuss: - Action you can take NOW to prepare for wage & hour lawsuits or government investigations
- How the GAO's two recent reports and will likely impact enforcement of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
- The role that your organization's business records can play in wage & hour litigation and government investigations
- How you can avoid litigation by auditing employee duties to ensure their proper classification
- How you MUST respond to the challenge of new technologies, such as BlackBerry devices and PDAs, to control overtime costs and stay compliant with the law
- The rules you many not know -- such as ones that give employees the opportunity to "opt-in" FLSA class actions
- Real-life examples of how employers expose themselves to FLSA retaliation claims
- A "Top 10" list of suggestions to minimizing FLSA classification and wage mishaps, including what you can do to maintain accurate payment records and how to make sure tips are always reported
