There has been no relief from the onslaught of wage and hour lawsuits against Washington employers, especially in this volatile economy. Within the past year alone, dozens of massive wage and hour class actions have been filed in Washington state and federal courts. And, as the number of wage and hour cases pending before Washington courts continues to grow, updating/revising the state’s wage and hour regulations is a top priority for the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries.

Wage and hour lawsuits impact literally every employer in the state, and preventing this litigation in Washington requires a unique and specialized approach – especially in this shaky economic climate.

The news is sobering, but employers need to focus their efforts on practical, cost-effective compliance programs that control and mitigate risk. During this informative 90-minute webinar, you will have direct access to the country's most recognized experts in both Washington and federal wage and hour laws.

Attend this event and learn:

  • Significant recent Washington wage and hour developments, including new case decisions, statutes and agency regulations on critical wage and hour compliance issues.
  • The most serious wage and hour risks facing employers, including meal and rest periods, off-the-clock work, continuous workday issues, and employee misclassification.
  • The impact of an Obama administration on wage and hour law enforcement.
  • The key components of an effective Washington wage and hour compliance program, and what to watch for in the future as the Department of Labor & Industries considers potential changes to Washington’s wage and hour regulations.
  • How to justify investing in wage and hour risk management, even in the toughest economy.

During the live, interactive webinar, you will have the opportunity to have your specific questions answered from the nation’s pre-eminent experts on wage and hour compliance.
