HR Tip of the Month

Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)

In 2007, the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor collected a record $220 million in back wages for over 341,000 employees. This is partially due to attorneys aggressively pursuing companies who are violating overtime and minimum wage requirements. Make sure you protect your company from being a target and subjected to fines and penalties by learning about your obligations regarding payment of wages. The tips, podcasts, quiz, and case studies below will help you understand how to handle wage and hour issues. Contact Express Employment Professionals for more information on this issue or for help with any other HR issues you are facing.
