Wage and Hour Wednesday – Sidestepping the Pitfalls of Hiring (seasonal) Minors and Teen Employees

Employers are facing more challenges than ever with staffing in a tight labor market and with the summer approaching, they are looking for creative solutions to help them meet their bottom line. To help fill the gaps, employers are considering broader recruitment efforts to include those under the age of 18, interns and other non-traditional work arrangements. Employers can face stiff penalties under state and federal law for missteps in these areas. In this webinar, we will explore issues that employers should be mindful of when hiring for the summer. In particular, the webinar will focus on minor workers, internships, volunteers, and staying compliant with DOL requirements.
