CounselingOur lawyers counsel employers on advanced wage and hour issues that have caused employers the most difficulty including joint employment, travel and training time, complex overtime calculations, application of the “no docking rule,” understanding “off-the-clock” overtime claims and prorating vacation.
We work with clients to minimize their liability, from advising them on isolated employee issues to representing them in comprehensive wage and hour audits. Our lawyers author the book
