Okemos Conference Center

The U.S. Department of Labor, in response to increased Congressional scrutiny, is stepping up its enforcement activity on §14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. One of the most common violations that results in back wage liability is inaccurate time studies! This seminar will help you ensure that your organization is fairly and accurately paying workers with disabilities.
