FREE August 12 Webinar – The FLSA in Year Two of the Obama Administration: What Other Changes Might Be In Store?
July 14, 2010

Wage and hour lawsuits have grown over the past several years to become the most common type of employment-related lawsuit. Thousands of cases are filed in state and federal court each year. Add to that the additional investigative resources that Congress has provided to the U.S. Department of Labor and the increased focus on wage and hour issues by the state departments of labor, and it has never been more important to comply with these laws.

In our free August 12 webinar, Alexander J. Passantino, attorney with Seyfarth Shaw LLP and former head of the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division, will discuss:

The most common wage and hour violations;
How to deal with an investigation by the Wage and Hour Division or a state department of labor;
The government’s renewed focus on “independent contractor” issues;
What the change in administration means for your ability to claim exempt status for employees;
What lies ahead from Congress and the DOL; and
Other recent developments in wage and hour law.
