Identifying, Preventing and Defending Off-the-Clock Claims

Keep your company out of trouble and gain a better understanding of the liabilities of off-the-clock work.

The laws, rules, and regulations governing compensable hours worked for nonexempt employees are intricate and exacting, and in many ways are incongruent with the realities of the 2020 workplace. Yet, an employer's failure to comply with these laws can result in costly litigation and significant business disruption. Because the number of wage-hour lawsuits continues to increase, it is important to stay abreast of legal developments in this area. Review recent case law developments that will help you identify and prevent liabilities resulting from off-the-clock claims. Receive guidance regarding issues such as when the workday begins, remote work during COVID-19, off-duty use of cell phones, meal and rest break issues, and other activities that may constitute compensable hours worked. Review proposed strategies for defending off-the-clock claims, should a lawsuit arise.
