Employers must promptly retain counsel if they are facing a wage and hour enforcement investigation or lawsuit. That’s because of the ever-growing myriad of overlapping state and federal wage and hour obligations – many of which are extremely technical. This growing complexity has led to a steady rise in wage and hour litigation over the past decade. It now represents one of the largest potential liabilities for employers across all industries.
McMahon Berger represents clients who are facing enforcement actions from the U.S. Department of Labor or from a state agency. These investigations often review a broad variety of pay practices and frequently result in a finding of back-wages for some employees. Repeated violations may also cause an enforcement action and the assessment of significant civil monetary penalties.
