Publisher's Synopsis
This all-inclusive, practical desk reference provides human resources (HR) and payroll practitioners with plain-English explanations of federal and state wage-hour laws. This time-saving handbook, updated regularly, contains concise and easy-to-understand explanations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's (FLSA's) minimum wage and overtime requirements. In addition, you will find important guidance on how federal and state minimum wage and overtime laws--the laws that apply in your state and in any state in which you have employees--interact and apply to your business operations. Wage-Hour Compliance Handbook also includes summaries of actual court cases that illustrate the law's real-world application. Other important features include details on key pay-related mandates (such as permissible deductions, your deadline for issuing employees' pay, state child labor restrictions, and pay requirements for jury duty and military leave); a directory of federal and state wage-hour regulatory agencies; special standalone chapters on equal pay and family leave; and an array of practical checklists and forms that give you a user-friendly template for complying with the law.
