Wage and hour violations remain some of the most common, most expensive, yet often inadvertent violations employers make each year. This is complicated by changing federal rules, increases in state and local minimum wages, and the increased usage of AI programs and applications to track and report employees’ hours worked. In this session, we will address recent changes to wage and hour law, cover traditional wage and hour pitfalls, and provide advice for best practices. We will also focus on the benefits and potential liability issues of AI tools and apps that promise accuracy, efficiency, and convenience to update and streamline timekeeping and payroll practices. Please join us to learn how you can better protect yourselves from wage and hour violations, whether you are using traditional practices or emerging technology.

More details will be forthcoming.
