Insights into Wage and Hour Investigations

With over a year of President Trump\u2019s second term under our belts, the current administration\u2019s priorities have begun to take shape.  While we expect enforcement activity to decrease during President Trump\u2019s second term, wage and hour investigations are still happening, so employers must be ready to demonstrate compliance when the Wage and Hour Division (\u201cWHD\u201d) shows up at their doors.  In addition to identifying WHD\u2019s current points of emphasis and primary areas of concern, this webinar will take you through the stages of an investigation and some tips for handling various aspects of the investigation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
