Every day, employers across the United States are sued for wage and hour violations that could and should have been identified and remediated years ago. So why are so many businesses in this position? Lack of internal expertise or focus? Longtime practices that are entrenched? No prior complaints, leading to complacency? Regardless of the reason, there’s no better time to start cleaning up areas of potential wage and hour exposure.

Join Allan Bloom and Rachel Philion of Proskauer’s Wage and Hour Group as we discuss how to audit wage and hour practices, with a focus on risk mitigation.

Topics will include:

• How to prioritize the areas for review

• The “top 10” wage and hour issues to audit now

• The resources you will need (people, documents, data, etc.)

• Nationwide versus state-specific audit considerations

• Preserving privilege in internal audits

• Auditing while a claim or lawsuit is pending
