What should you do if the Department of Labor shows up at your door? In this episode of Ground Rules: Employment Law Over Your Coffee Break, Pam Howland sits down with attorneys Doug Plass and Jennifer Walrith to discuss how employers can prepare for — and respond to — a DOL wage and hour audit.
They cover what to expect during an investigation, how to stay organized and cooperative without oversharing, and why having a plan (and your attorney’s number on speed dial) can make all the difference. The team also walks through common violations — from overtime and tip pooling to child labor and nursing mother requirements — and shares practical steps to minimize your risk before the DOL ever comes calling.
Key takeaways:
