Travel Pay: Best Practices For Properly Calculating Time Worked Under The FLSA
2/15/2010
Plaintiffs' attorneys are hungry to file suit against organizations for Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) violations, partly because those mistakes can serve as a breeding ground for class action lawsuits with huge payouts. Knowing this, most organizations pay great attention to their overtime pay practices, but one area employers often overlook is travel pay.
Verdicts and settlements against your organization for travel pay violations can cost you dearly. Don't wait for the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division or a state agency to investigate your organization's travel pay practices ? or, worse still, for a full-fledged lawsuit - to find out if you've been properly compensating your workforce for their travel time.
Join us for an in-depth 90 minute interactive webinar on how to determine once and for all who's entitled to travel pay and who's not. Our expert ? an experienced labor and employment attorney ? will explain how to draft and enforce a travel pay policy in compliance with the FLSA.
