Overview:

The work-from-home setup has rapidly become a trend after businesses started shutting down due to the pandemic. Although telework can have upsides, remote work arrangements also present unique challenges for employers, particularly in the field of wage and hour law. Typical issues businesses are struggling with include claims of unpaid wages, timekeeping inaccuracies, and employee misclassification.

The widespread adoption of telework arrangements—either by necessity or by choice—has changed the employment landscape. This means that relevant wage-and-hour issues are also here to stay. It is therefore prudent that employers familiarize themselves with potential problem areas and increase their focus on legal compliance to mitigate class action risks.

In this LIVE webcast, employment litigation lawyers Ellen Connelly Cohen (Call & Jensen) and Jennifer A. Riley (Seyfarth Shaw LLP) will discuss how businesses should address the various wage-and-hour issues relating to remote workforce management. Ellen, who practices in California, will also discuss the unique requirements of California law that impact every business with employees in the Golden State. Speakers will also share the best compliance practices which companies can implement in light of the recent trends and developments.

Key issues that will be covered in this course are:

  • Remote Workforce – Top Wage-and-Hour Issues
  • Strategic Monitoring of Remote Workers
  • Mitigating Class Action Risks
  • Best Compliance Practices
  • An Outlook
