Kimberly KlimczukSkoler, Abbott & Presser, P.C., the leading labor and employment law firm serving employers in the greater Springfield area, invites business owners, managers and human resource professionals to an informative webinar outlining ways employers can stay in compliance with what can be some tricky federal wage and hour regulations.

  • When training programs are considered compensable – and whether they qualify for overtime
  • What to consider when determining an employee’s overtime rate
