Wage and hour law continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) reorients its enforcement strategy, regulations around overtime exemptions, independent contractor classifications, and others that were published late into the last administration are under review. In addition, the DOL has reinstated its opinion letter program and is providing new compliance resources for employers — signaling a renewed commitment to clarity, yet also more scrutiny. This session examines the latest federal and state developments, litigation trends, and enforcement shifts and offers practical guidance on how employers can adjust wage and hour strategies to remain compliant in a fast-changing environment.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify key changes in federal wage and hour rules and enforcement priorities.
- Interpret how state and federal divergence may impact compliance across jurisdictions.
- Develop proactive compliance approaches to address emerging wage and hour enforcement and litigation risks.
