Training Sessions:
Wage And Hour Law In A Nutshell
Overtime, meal periods, timing of pay, classifying exempt employees – state and federal wage and hour laws are the backbone of rules and requirements in the workplace. But wage and hour laws are complicated and many employers with the best of intentions simply get it wrong!
This training is a comprehensive introduction to wage and hour law and includes:
- Rules for exempt employees;
- Rules for nonexempt employees;
- Rules for independent contractors; and
- Massachusetts Wage Act.
Schwartz Hannum PC offers this training as a stand alone program or in conjunction with other programs. We are happy to tailor the program to meet the specific training objectives of individual clients, including addressing additional state laws for multi-state employers.
Avoiding The Sting Of Treble Damages: How To Conduct A Self-Audit To Avoid Wage and Hour Law
Employers in Massachusetts – Beware! Violations of the complex wage and hour laws subject you to mandatory treble damages. That’s a 3x multiplier for every dollar owed to an employee. Mistakes are costly and, unfortunately, easy to make. The employer’s best defense is a good offense, and we strongly recommend a periodic self-audit to ensure compliance with the many requirements of state and federal wage and hour law.
This training is designed as a how-to course for conducting a self-audit. It covers the details of what is required under the law and how to spot systems and practices that violate the law. Topics include:
- Job classifications (exempt, nonexempt and independent contractor);
- Wage and hour rules for each classification; and
- Documentation
Schwartz Hannum PC includes this important training in the Employment Law Boot Camp and regularly conducts this training throughout the year at our clients’ workplaces. We are happy to tailor the program to meet the specific training objectives of individual clients.
