Get the tools needed to ensure FLSA compliance
Wage and hour class action litigation and wage and hour audits are some of the most devastating liabilities that employers carry. Noncompliance is generally not a one-off but systemic and results in hundreds of thousands of dollars in liability. Fortunately, because of the systemic nature of classifications, it is very easy to identify and develop a compliance plan. This course will give you the tools to conduct a self-audit and ensure that individuals are properly classified. The failure to do so is costly - between attorney fees and damages. As such, this material is critical to ensure compliance with the FLSA and prevent wage and hour litigation.
