Epstein Becker Green is pleased to announce the availability of a Wage and Hour Division Investigation Checklist, which provides financial services employers with valuable information about wage and hour investigations and audits conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).  Like EBG’s first-of-its kind Wage and Hour App, which provides detailed information about federal and state laws, the Checklist is a free resource offered by EBG.

The Checklist provides step-by-step guidance on the following issues: preparation before a Wage and Hour Division investigation of the DOL; preliminary investigation issues; document production; on-site inspection activities; employee interviews; and  back-wage findings, and post-audit considerations.

“The multitude of wage and hour claims and lawsuits that workers have filed under the Fair Labor Standards Act and its state law counterparts have made wage and hour law the nation's fastest growing type of litigation. And federal and state agencies are investigating and pursuing wage and hour claims more aggressively than ever,” said Michael Kun, the national Co-Chairperson of the firm's Wage and Hour, Individual and Collective Actions practice group. “We hope that our Checklist will serve as an important resource for financial services employers to use when confronted with an audit – and perhaps help them avoid an audit altogether.”
