Track B: Legal Compliance and Risk Management. Virtually every workplace has wage and hour violations. ‘How am I not in Compliance’? Eric Uhl, from Fisher & Phillips LLP, will count the ways and show how HR is underutilized in this arena. Eric will place emphasis on issues involving the misclassification of exempt employees, the incorrect paying of tips, and the misapplication of overtime rules. In the process he will demonstrate ways for HR to become the first line of review and defense in pursuing compliance. Participants will leave with ‘Ten Steps’ to quickly analyze whether there are any lurking wage and hour violations in their workplace and learn how to become more engaged in oversight and implementation of these areas of the law.
