- Legal considerations in planning and implementing a reduction in force.

Top Ten Wage & Hour Mistakes For Employers to Avoid In A Good, Bad Or Ugly Economy. The FLSA and its state counterparts create a legal web of regulations, exemptions and judicial decisions with which employers must comply or face the wrath of plaintiffs' lawyers searching for technical violations of the FLSA to line their pockets. In this session, we will address the top mistakes that employers make in compensating employees and complying with the FLSA and some of the simple fixes that can save employers the headaches associated with litigating wage and hour collective actions.
