Wage & Hour Trends and Enforcement Initiatives

Governmental Affairs and Jackson Lewis Breakfast Series Program

June 19, 2008
8:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m.

Presented by: Paul DeCamp, Jackson Lewis

About the Program:

Today, employers are more frequently facing expensive collective actions under the federal wage and hour law. Additionally, FLSA collective actions exceed the total actions filed under all of the other federal employment laws combined. In fact, the federal Wage-Hour Division estimates 72% of employers violate the FLSA in some substantive manner. Jackson Lewis attorneys will guide participants through the maze of the current wage and hour trends and discuss recent developments to try to educate employers how to avoid common pitfalls. The program will breakdown into the following sessions:

-Wage & Hour Law from the DOL's Perspective

- The Top Ten Wage & Hour Mistakes Employers Make (And How to Avoid Them)

- DOL's Enforcement Priorities

- Question and Answers

About Our Breakfast Series Facilitator:

He is a nationally recognized expert in wage and hour law. He joined the firm in 2008 upon completing his service as Administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Appointed by President George W. Bush, he led the federal agency that interprets and enforces the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Davis-Bacon Act, the Service Contract Act, and close to seventy other federal statutes on behalf of roughly 135 million workers in 7.3 millon workplaces around the country. He was in charge of close to 1,300 employees in more than 220 office nationwide, operating on an annual budget of more than $170 million. Mr. DeCamp was responsible for enforcement policy, field operations, strategic planning, budgeting, interagency coordination, media relations, responding to congressional requests, legislation, regulations, opinion letters, compliance assistance, stakeholder communication, and personnel. Under his tenure, the Wage and Hour Division recovered the highest level of back wages in a fiscal year in the agency's history, and he oversaw the agency's largest-ever recovery from a private-sector employer.

Mr. DeCamp's nationwide practice focuses on federal and state wage and hour issues, class action litigation and appellate matters. He has extensive experience in wage and hour class and collective actions. Mr. DeCamp has worked on numerous high-profile appeals, including the successful challenge to the largest single-plaintiff sexual harassment verdict ever upheld on appeal in the United States and the interlocutory appeal of the order approving the largest employment discrimination class ever certified. His practice emphasizes advising employer regarding how to comply with the full range of federal and state labor and employment laws.
