More than 70% of employers are currently violating the Fair Labor Standards Act … is your company vulnerable?

Wage and hour law is facing some of its biggest changes in a generation. From the recent overtime regulations to agency and worker lawsuits, it’s no wonder the DOL and state labor agencies continue to collect record-breaking amounts in fines.

On Thursday, March 12, discover if you're at risk – and what to do about it – with the Wage & Hour Law Master Class. Attorney Anniken Davenport, who literally wrote the book on wage and hour compliance, offers practical, step-by-step compliance advice for your organization.

Learn how to master the ins and outs of complex wage and hour laws. In this 60-minute online training session (with 15 more minutes for Q&A), you'll discover:
