Training presented by
Abtin Mehdizadegan

 Many non-trivial legal issues arise in the workplace for employers in the automotive industry regarding wage and hour law compliance.  These issues range from misclassification of workers as salaried employees or as independent contractors, overtime compensation issues, and compliance with piecemeal rate exemption regulations.  Failure to follow wage and hour regulations, under the Federal Labor Standards Act and Arkansas Minimum Wage act can result in expensive litigation and significant liability for unsuspecting employers.  The ongoing proliferation of wage and hour litigation means that employers must take steps now to avoid liability, including the implementation of compliant payroll policies and practices.
This presentation will address: Fair Labor Standards Act / Arkansas Minimum Wage Act application in the Automotive Industry, Piecemeal Pay Structures, and Tips for Avoiding Liability.
