SUMMARY:Wage & Hour Litigation and Management Florida
DESCRIPTION:Wage and hour collective and class litigation continues to domi
 nate employment-related lawsuit filings in federal court in Florida\, simi
 lar to its red hot status around the country and in large states\, like Ca
 lifornia. &nbsp\;Despite nearly two decades of such litigation activity an
 d increasing employer sophistication with compliance\, new and novel issue
 s continue to emerge in terms of litigation and compliance\, presenting ch
 allenges for even seasoned employment law practitioners\, corporate counse
 l and human resources personnel. &nbsp\;The consistently changing legal la
 ndscape of wage and hour litigation requires that counsel for employees an
 d employers alike keep abreast of the most recent developments in the law.
 &nbsp\; Hot issues include the growing focus on exemptions for commissione
 d employees working in retail or service establishments (the so-called 7(i
 ) exemption)\, developments in who is an employee versus an independent co
 ntractor\, and who employs such workers\, and continued evolution in the u
 nderstanding of tips and tip pooling arrangements. &nbsp\;This program wil
 l provide participants with an update on these developments and advice on 
 litigation and compliance\, a view on wage and hour issues from the Califo
 rnia perspective\, where any multi-state employer must remain up-to-date\,
  and insights on settling collective and class actions given the evolving 
 and increasingly active role of the judiciary in managing the resolution o
 f these claims. The program is co-chaired by Loren Donnell of Burr & Smith
 \, LLP and Reed Russell of Phelps Dunbar\, LLP.
