Public Education: Wage and Hour

Liebert Cassidy Whitmore specializes in representing employers in wage and hour actions.  Our attorneys have successfully defended employers in complex wage and hour class action and multi-plaintiff lawsuits through all stages of litigation, including jury trials and appeals.  We are proud of our success at the pre-trial stage.  Our attorneys have obtained pre-certification dismissals, summary judgments, and defeated class certifications.  LCW has also achieved success at the trial stage.

Because of LCW’s expertise in wage and hour laws, our attorneys are able to recognize nuanced risks and provide practical and innovative solutions to the challenges our clients face on the full spectrum of wage and hour issues from overtime to exemption analysis.  Our attorneys have written hundreds of opinion letters and defended clients in audits conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor on wage and hour issues.

LCW has extensive experience providing audits to employers to ensure compliance with wage and hour laws and best management practices.  The audit process includes a comprehensive investigation and analysis of written documents and actual practices within the organization, and practical recommendations to achieve compliance. Our audit services can provide a comprehensive examination of all aspects of wage and hour compliance, or tailor the audit to specific departments, classifications or suspected compliance problems.

Our firm regularly presents training programs on compliance with wage and hour laws and has continuously done so since 1980.  We provide specialized and customized trainings for clients on nuanced wage and hour issues.  We also regularly provide wage and hour presentations at professional conferences both at the state and national level.
