Claims involving employee pay and wage and hour laws continue to be among the largest risks for employers and can keep them up at night. Rest easy … we have you covered.
BakerHostetler’s attorneys have counseled hundreds of employers across the country on the complicated and often-changing federal, state and local regulations that govern wages, hours of work and pay practices. Our goal is to help our clients mitigate risk and avoid litigation that can cost millions of dollars, distract from business goals and cause reputational harm.
Performing comprehensive wage and hour audits and compliance reviews is among the core competencies of BakerHostetler’s Wage and Hour Compliance team. Our national team has conducted audits for employers of all sizes and in numerous industries concerning a variety of wage and hour issues. Our audits include a comprehensive review of relevant documentation related to employee pay, such as job descriptions, payroll records, time records, wage payment policies and leave policies, as well as on-site visits to observe operations and identify problematic practices on the ground. With every review, we work hand in hand with human resources personnel and management to gain a clear understanding of the client’s operations and manage risk in a manner consistent with operational needs and business goals.
