Wage and Hour Fundamentals
Violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) are one of the fastest growing types of employee lawsuits, with many settlements totaling over $10 million.
Course description
Traliant’s Wage and Hour Fundamentals is a 25-minute course which teaches employees their specific responsibilities for complying with the federal FLSA. Unlike most courses on this topic, the training also addresses how to comply with state and local wage and hour laws, which often are much more expansive than the FLSA. The course is kept up-to-date with changes in federal and state law.
