An NJBIA HR Program
No one wants a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage and Hour audit. Just the thought makes us sweat. However, it’s important to know that these audits are becoming increasingly common. DOL Wage and Hour audits can take place unannounced or with notice, and you need to be prepared. Regardless of whether an audit is random or triggered by a complaint, employers should be prepared to demonstrate compliance with the wage and hour laws.
Join us on Tuesday, May 9 for a virtual event when Marianne C. Tolomeo, Of Counsel at Connell Foley’s Labor and Employment Group, will provide an engaging presentation to help you understand and prepare for this audit.
