The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour division has been busy over the last several months issuing new rules, guidance, and expanding its reach. The changes will have significant impact on most employers’ wage/hour practices, so planning for 2016 should start now! In this Business Hour, we will review recent developments and steps employers’ can take to help ensure compliance and avoid Fair Labor Standards Act liability. Topics will include:

Preparing for the new FLSA “White Collar” rules and assessing the financial and non-financial impact on your operations

Understanding how the new independent contractor guidance may expand your employee roster and what to do about it

Our panelists will welcome your topic-related questions.

Public corporations, such as JetBlue Airways Corp. and Molson Coors Beverage Company, are citing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives as a “risk” factor in their 10-K filings. The growing DEI pushback is a good reminder for employers that fairness and equality, regardless of protected characteristics, and based upon bona-fide qualifications, is a good compass by which to make employment-related decisions.

The New Year comes with new challenges as the labor and employment landscape continues to evolve. From the advancement of AI to labor negotiations to protecting your business assets, employers must gear up and be ready for whatever lies ahead, and McDonald Hopkins is here to help.
