Overview
Why You Should Attend
Compliance with federal and state wage and hour laws continues to be critically important to both employers and employees. Attorneys, as well as human resources and compliance personnel, must stay up to date on the latest legal developments related to minimum wage and overtime pay; be informed about U.S. Department of Labor initiatives and regulatory changes; and understand wage and hour violations that may be present as many workers continue to perform at least some of their work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attorneys will obtain skills credit for learning key aspects of mediating and settling wage and hour cases, and for exploring common discovery disputes that occur in wage and hour litigation and how to handle them. Hear from experienced practitioners about strategies for bringing and opposing motions to dismiss and litigating affirmative defenses in Fair Labor Standards Act cases. Finally, test your understanding of which Rules of Professional Conduct may be implicated in wage and hour claims, and earn ethics credit while doing so.
