Wage and Hour Best Practices for 2018: Companies Must Be Aware of How This Will Impact Their Risk Management Strategy!

Why Should You Attend:

A good human resources department or professional can mitigate risks by staying up to date on workplace laws, regulations and executive orders that not only is hard to keep up, but also difficult to track the changes made by the new White House Administration. Not following these changes is a landmine for companies and it would be in their best interest to be aware of changes and also have qualified human resources professionals and train their managers to identify the impact of these regulations to their bottom line.

It is more cost effective to invest in qualified individuals who can mitigate some of the risks as well and providing training to those managers who can unwittingly risk fines and penalties with significant increase in your cost to do business. This training program will identify resources and tools that can be used to reduce risk and focus on growing businesses.

Topic Background:

Wage and Hour regulations have increased to protect employees in the workplace as indicated by the Department of Labor (DOL). Most companies are aware of some of the regulations that are included as part of this regulatory agency. But, are companies aware what the impact is if those regulations are violated? DOL workplace regulations are monitored and enforced by the Wage and Hour Division (WHD). This is the enforcement arm of DOL and they are charged with ensuring these regulations are followed by companies or enforce fines, penalties and even criminal sanction for willful violations of DOL regulations.
