Wage and hour litigation based on alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state labor laws continues to grow exponentially. In fact, wage and hour claims are the leading segment of workplace litigation, jumping 423% over the last two decades and quadrupling during the last 10 years.

 

We invite you to join our panel of experts for a Webinar during which they will discuss:

• The impact of recent court decisions interpreting the Fair Labor Standards Act
• Litigation regarding the use of independent contractors rather than employees
• Legal risks associated with the use of unpaid interns
• Certifying wage and hour class actions after Dukes and Comcast
• Responding to a governmental audit of your compliance with the FLSA

Join speakers Robert Fisher from Foley Hoag; Sharon Apple from Nestle Nutrition, N.A.; and, Theodore Easton from the New Jersey Division of Wage and Hour Compliance who will provide background and guidance around Wage & Hour regulations, as well as how to avoid the crush of class actions and investigations.

This is a CLE-accredited* webinar scheduled Wednesday, May 21, at 2 p.m.
