Does
your organization comply with wage and hour laws? Or is it one of the 70%
of companies that is out of compliance?
Recently,
a large national retailer agreed to pay between $352 million and $640 million
to settle 63 lawsuits. An employer in Minnesota
paid $54.3 million, and a hospital in California
agreed to pay $4.75 million. What do each of these employers have in
common? They were each accused of violating various applicable wage and
hour laws.
If
you are not absolutely clear as to what, precisely, is compensable time, then
your organization could be at risk for substantial damages.
Don't
miss this opportunity to join Prince Lobel's employment law experts as they
cover important and pertinent information, including:
Determining
what constitutes compensable time, such as:
- Work
hours definitions
- On-call
time
- Training
sessions
- BlackBerry
and other "off the clock" work
- Meal
breaks
- Travel
and volunteer hours
Calculating
time properly and keeping accurate records, including:
- How
to calculate hours worked and when overtime kicks in
- How
to record time for those who work inconsistent hours
- Determining
pay rates when commissions and gratuities are involved
- What
records must be kept, and what happens if you don't maintain them?
- The
de minimis rule and rounding
To
better understand these areas, our lawyers will also examine case studies to
delve deeper into these often difficult and costly issues.
If you have any specific questions on these
topics that you would like the panel to address, we welcome you to submit them
when you RSVP.
