Todd Horn's article “The Meteoric Rise of Wage and Hour Class Actions (and How Your Company Can Avoid Them)” is featured in the Winter 2006 issue of the Bloomberg Corporate Law Journal. Todd writes about the recent increase of wage and hour class action suits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and offers techniques to prevent them.
FLSA, enacted in 1937, is the federal law that governs the manner in which organizations must compensate their employees. The recent spread of wage and hour lawsuits has outpaced all other forms of employment litigation.
