New wage and hour laws, regulations and issues have arisen that employers must consider in 2006. The "white collar" exemptions for overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act have undergone significant changes. The Department of Labor is poised to become more aggressive in audits and enforcement, and wage and hour violations have become an increasingly common theme for class actions against unwary employers. Employers must be prepared to address various wage, hour and leave of absence issues due to weather-related emergencies and other natural disasters, as well as for employees who are absent from work because of military service. These and other emerging wage and hour issues will be addressed, along with practical solutions and recommendations.
