We craft practical solutions to wage and hour issues that effectively manage risk and litigation while achieving and enhancing our clients’ business goals.
Our Wage and Hour Compliance team navigates the federal, state and local regulations governing workplace compensation, with a focus on practical, innovative and cost-effective solutions to wage and hour issues. We also ensure that our clients are ahead of the curve and are poised to respond and adapt to changes in the law before they are implemented, without disruption to business operations.
Clients trust us to help them avoid time-consuming collective and class actions and the resulting adverse publicity and disruption that can threaten a company’s reputation and bottom line.
Our extensive experience in wage and hour law enables us to provide sophisticated and nuanced advice, from preventive counsel and guidance to audits and litigation defense. We handle a broad array of wage and hour issues, including:
- Employee misclassification.
- Statutory coverage.
- Off-the-clock work.
- Meal and rest periods.
- Rounding, regular rate inclusion or exclusion.
- Spread of hours work and payment.
- Tip credits and tip pooling.
- Pay stub statements and record-keeping problems.
- Unpaid overtime, including “fluctuating workweek” principles.
- Paid leave.
- Pay equity.
- Layoffs and furloughs.
We also work extensively with government contractors to address the unique challenges they face in complying with federal and state laws such as the Equal Pay Act, the Service Contract Act (SCA) and the Davis Bacon Act.
