Overview

Why you should attend

Counsel as well as Human Resources and compliance personnel whose responsibilities include wage and hour matters must keep up to date on the latest developments, and understand and anticipate wage and hour risks in order to implement effective compliance programs and to respond promptly to indicators of possible noncompliance.  At the same time, given the sensitivity of these issues, it is critical that attorneys counseling and representing either employers or workers master the best practices for investigating and litigating wage and hour claims, and understand the pros and cons of arbitrating such claims.  An understanding of the nuances of wage and hour collective actions, class actions and hybrid actions under federal and state law is essential for attorneys in the wage and hour arena.
