For more than a decade, Epstein Becker Green’s (EBG’s) complimentary Wage & Hour Guide for Employers mobile app (“Wage & Hour App”) has been a powerful tool that companies can use to comply with laws and regulations and avoid class action litigation and government investigations.
The Wage & Hour App provides important information about overtime, overtime exemptions, minimum wages, meal periods, rest periods, on-call time, and travel time.
As the laws have changed, so too has the Wage & Hour App, which is regularly updated to reflect those developments. A great many states and localities have made recent changes to their overtime, minimum wage, and child labor laws effective January 1, 2024, and EBG’s free Wage & Hour App includes those changes.
“As many states have recently introduced laws and court decisions that have been favorable to employees, employers in all industries require an accessible and state-specific tool to inform them of new wage and hour developments relevant to their business,” said Paul DeCamp, co-chair of EBG’s Wage and Hour practice group and a past Administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division. “The Wage & Hour App is a free-to-use resource provided by EBG for the benefit of in-house counsel and human resources departments concerned with wage and hour compliance.”
EBG’s Wage & Hour App was created by some of the most respected counselors, litigators, and authors in the field of wage and hour law. The app puts federal, state, and local wage and hour laws and regulations at the fingertips of employers, in-house counsel, and human resources personnel.
“We know our clients have had their hands full trying to navigate the rapidly changing employment law landscape that has become even more convoluted and confusing since the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Michael S. Kun, co-chair of EBG’s Wage and Hour practice group and co-creator of the Wage & Hour App. “To help save time, resources, and frustration, we are pleased to continue to offer an all-in-one solution that can be accessed anywhere via a mobile app. With updated federal, state, and local information, users can find the answer to almost any relevant wage and hour law question with only a few taps.”
