About the Program

Annual Mid Year Wage & Hour Conference 

San Diego, CA
June 7, 2013

 

Bridgeport’s Annual Wage & Hour one day program brings together leading practitioners to explore and explain in-depth the critical aspects of Wage & Hour litigation.  This year's program will focus on the ever increasing use of PAGA in wage and hour litigation; key developments in the case law interpeting the white collar exemptions, the enforcement of arbitration agreements and the rules for settling class claims; and increased and coordinated efforts by government agencies to enforce the wage and hour laws.  The program will also explore the unique challenges associated with trying wage and hour claims on a class and individual basis with practitioners who have actually tried such cases in court.  This well-balanced program offers the perspective of California's leading experienced litigators, as well as government regulators and in-house counsel.  This program is moderated by Aashish Desai of the Desai Law Group.
