The Fair Labor Standards Act can be a veritable legal liability minefield for the uninitiated. Just ask several of my friends who practice law on the plaintiff’s side. Heck, it can put an employment lawyer’s kids through college, no matter on which side of the “v” they practice. 😏
Last night, I read a news release from the U.S. Department of Labor that helps put this into perspective.
The department’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) announced a seven-figure resolution for unpaid wages and penalties.
And that doesn’t include whatever the employer had to pay its lawyers to defend it.
