Lawsuits alleging failure to comply with wage and hour laws have been on the upsurge, with multimillion-dollar settlements and judgments awarded to employees in industries as varied as financial services, retail, restaurants, insurance, and funeral homes. “Keeping Time” will keep you ahead of this litigation tidal wave by reviewing the essential requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the federal wage and hour law, and relevant state laws. It illuminates these technical legal concepts with real-world examples and provides a practical understanding for the often confusing tests to determine which employees qualify for white-collar exemptions.
