Understand common minimum wage and overtime issues and compliance traps.
Minimum wage and overtime pay obligations continue to present significant challenges for employers of all sizes and workforces and have spawned hundreds of class and collective actions in recent years. Often, these claims stem from gaps between the realities of the modern workplace and existing law, or simple calculation errors that result in six, seven, or even eight-figure damages and settlements. Further complicating matters, both federal and state laws with respect to minimum wage and overtime obligations have changed significantly in recent years. This topic helps employers, human resources professionals, and employment litigators better understand common minimum wage and overtime issues, as well as pitfalls and compliance traps that have resulted in litigation in recent years. The topic will unpack what types of work are (or are not) compensable and discuss how the modern work environment and technological advancements may have resulted in greater risks of claims of uncompensated time. In addition, the webinar will provide guidance regarding commonly litigated issues with the calculation of overtime, including issues stemming from bonuses, commissions, other forms of incentive compensation, and/or varying rates of pay. Connectedly, the webinar will examine the evolving overtime and minimum wage exemptions in the post-COVID-19 world and explore ways for employers to avoid misclassification claims. In whole, the material will provide practical details on how employers with diverse and diffuse workforces can comply with increasingly complex federal and state wage and hour laws.
