In recent months, there have been a spate of lawsuits brought by interns. In addition to filing lawsuits, interns are also organizing beyond the courtroom -- using methods previously used by freelancers and food service workers. Federal law provides that if internships at for-profit companies are unpaid, they must provide an educational environment. Is your company compliant?

This program will discuss the following issues:

  • What can we learn from recent decisions and settlements involving unpaid interns?
  • Are there bright-line tests that distinguish true interns from employees or independent contractors?
  • Are particular industries at risk?
  • What should you be doing right now if you have unpaid interns (or even paid interns)?
  • What should you do if you haven't paid your interns and decide that was a mistake? Prospective remediation? Retroactive remediation?
  • Which is better -- centralized control of interns or disbursement by business unit or geographic area?
  • Are there ways to limit liability through releases, waivers, or affirmative statements of fact?
