This summer, the Fair Labor Standards Act celebrates its 80th anniversary. Is a Depression-era law still an effective way to regulate the 21st Century workplace? If the FLSA was written today, what would it look like?
Join former Assistant Attorney General Ivo Becica from Obermayer and the Economic Policy Institute’s Director of Labor Law and Policy, Celine McNicholas, on Equal Pay Day (April 10, 2018) to find out which aspects of the FLSA have kept pace with change, and which have not.
Understand the common challenges and frustrations employers face with FLSA compliance.
Learn more about the protections the FLSA provides workers and whether they are adequate.
Discuss the differences between the workplaces and economy of 1938 and today and how this affects current laws and regulations.
Consider the future of workplace laws and regulations and whether employers can expect to see any changes coming their way.
