Description
Wage theft is so commonplace that it is estimated that employers are keeping billions of dollars each year that rightfully belongs to their employees.
While the FLSA sets standards for the wages and pay for many employees, states have been instituting laws that provide additional penalties and protections when an employer fails to pay either overtime or other unpaid wages.
Listen as our panel of experienced practitioners discusses state implementation of wage theft law and the requirements and restrictions of these statutes. The panel will guide counsel on structuring policies and training management to comply with these laws and avoid retaliation claims.
