Description: Wage and hour compliance remains one of the most challenging – and frequently litigated – areas of employment law. Whether advising employers, representing employees, or defending lawsuits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), attorneys must be prepared to navigate a complex legal landscape.
In the return of this practical and comprehensive class, our distinguished faculty provides expert guidance on advising clients, avoiding common compliance pitfalls, and litigating FLSA claims effectively – from policy drafting through trial or settlement. The following are among the topics this class covers:
- FLSA coverage – Who’s in, who’s out, and why it matters
- The white-collar exemptions – Duties tests and salary thresholds
- Best practices for litigating and defending FLSA lawsuits
- Key considerations in class and collective action litigation
- Strategic approaches to settlement and risk assessment
Join us and learn why many employers stay out of compliance – and how that reality shapes litigation risks, even in cases involving seemingly minor infractions. This class is essential for attorneys practicing employment or labor law and offers valuable insights for any legal professional involved in workplace compliance or litigation.
