Our partner Sheryl Galler was recently a panelist at a continuing legal education workshop entitled "Update on Wage and Hour Issues: Developments in New York Labor Law and the FLSA."  Ms. Galler discussed the federal rules and regulations setting the minimum wage and overtime compensation standards, recent court decisions applying those federal standards, and the risks of non-compliance.  She also provided tips on the best practices for employers conducting a self-audit.  The workshop was presented at the Fall Meeting of the Labor and Employment Law Section of the New York State Bar Association, which was held in Cooperstown, New York.
