Description
Best Practices to Avoid Wage and Hour Claims
The vast majority of employers never intend to violate wage and hour laws. These same employers implement policies and practices to try and ensure full compliance with various complex and technical wage and hour laws on a local, state and federal level. However, despite their best efforts employers often find themselves in the middle of legal controversies despite their best intentions to avoid them.
In this webinar, attendees will learn from one of the leading Labor and Employment attorneys on this subject, Scott Cruz, chamber member and Employment Attorney at Greensfelder, Hemker & Gale P.C. He will examine and discuss key policies, training materials, HR forms and other tools designed to diminish the risk of wage and hour lawsuits.
