Employers often ask when their company should do an internal wage and hour audit. The best answer is usually, “Yesterday.”
Last year saw a record increase in the number of wage and hour claims filed against employers. In fact, the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recovered a record $304 million in wages from employers for wage and hour law violations. Claims involving employee pay and wage and hour laws continue to be one of the largest uninsured risks for employers.
