In this two-part episode, Kevin Young, Partner in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth’s Atlanta office, and Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor and Employment department of Seyfarth’s Washington, DC office, discuss the impact on employers of the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division’s decision to end PAID, a self-audit program that allowed good-faith employers to resolve potential minimum wage and overtime mistakes and allowed employees to receive back wage payments promptly.

In part one, Scott and Kevin discuss the background of the PAID program and the problems it was trying to solve.
