Minimizing Risk to Employers: Wage and Hour Issues

In this installment of our Minimizing Risk CLE Series, attorneys Julian Wright and Fitz Barringer reviewed wage-and-hour laws and shared best practices that employers can implement to minimize wage-and-hour risk in a variety of circumstances. They also focused on avoiding wage-and-hour pitfalls in the “gig economy,” while workers are working from home during the pandemic, and when workers begin returning to the office. The hour concluded with a discussion of how employers can conduct self-audits to ensure compliance with wage-and-hour laws.
