WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Employers in the construction industry face special challenges in complying with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), such as deciding whether they must compensate employees for down time, rain delays, and time spent performing pre- and post- shift activities. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision favorable to employers which significantly limits the types of “pre-“ and “post-” work activities that are considered compensable under the FLSA. Employees can no longer claim that such activities are compensable simply because they are required to perform such activities or because they benefit their employer.
During this webinar, we will review the new test defined by the Supreme Court regarding pre- and post- shift activities. We will also review other special challenges that employers in the construction industry face when deciding what constitutes compensable time.
THIS WEBINAR IS DESIGNED TO:
- Educate employers on the recent Supreme Court decision regarding pre- and post- work activities under the FLSA.
- Address the special challenges that employers in the construction industry face when deciding what constitutes compensable time.
- Identify best practices for employers in the construction industry.
