Wage and Hour Audits

Tressler regularly guides employers through the maze of legal requirements for wages, hours of work and pay practices. We spend the majority of our time litigating and counseling in this highly specialized and regulated area. Tressler attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to collaborate with our clients to develop assessments specifically tailored to their needs, and the practical bent to develop solutions compatible with our clients’ business goals.

Our attorneys are adept at analyzing questions under federal and state laws on topics such as exempt and independent contractor classification, overtime requirements and calculation, tipped employee issues, meal and rest breaks, compensability of pre-shift and post-shift activities and training time.
