Overview of the webinar
Wage and hour litigation is on the rise. The Department of Labor estimates that 85% of employers do not comply with their legal obligations to pay overtime. A frequent problem is employers not capturing “all hours worked” which in turn results in employers not compensating employees with all monies due. This webinar will walk you through what hours must be captured and how you to ensure that you are doing so. The webinar will explain why employer policies prohibiting unauthorized overtime are not enough.

Why should you attend?
Many employers have policies that require employees to obtain approval prior to working overtime. Yet, employees continue to work hours that have not been authorized – it may be a result of the employee just trying to be a good employee or a rogue supervisor. Employers have the obligation to capture “all time worked.” In today’s technological environment, this task has become more and more difficult. Employers who do not capture all time worked will inevitably find themselves embroiled in litigation over unpaid overtime which results in costly back pay awards, possible liquidated damages and attorneys fees. How do you ensure that your employees are working only the hours you expect them to work?
