Wage and Hour Minefields & The Ongoing Need For Caution During COVID-19

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused many employers to take (or consider taking) actions including having employees work from home, changing work schedules, adjusting pay, closing workplaces, hiring temporary employees, and taking employee temperatures.  Join Barran Liebman Partner Sarah Hale for a webinar on reducing the wage and hour and employment law risks accompanied by any of these business changes, as well as how to ensure best practices are followed during these extraordinary times.  Topics will include the following:

• Opportunities to review and assess (and potentially correct) a myriad of pay practices;
• Best practices to ensure compliance with state meal and rest break requirements and predictive scheduling laws;
• Strategies to reduce off-the-clock work, even while remote; and

Ensure classification of exempt employees is not jeopardized through improper deductions, assumption of non-exempt duties, or salary reductions in response to cost-saving business needs.
