Wage and Hour

Sherman & Howard's wage and hour attorneys work with employers to create and administer policies, procedures and practices that satisfy wage and hour requirements on every level: federal, state and local. Wage and hour rules and regulations-and the potential for pay disputes-govern virtually every employment relationship. Employers must comply with the Fair Labor Standards Act, which establishes minimum wage and overtime rights for most private and public sector workers. We make sure that your payroll people are familiar with these requirements and we create documents that comply with the law. Should a dispute arise, we offer experienced representation for administrative and judicial proceedings. Because a large, complex wage and hour class and collective action lawsuit can cost an employer millions of dollars and damage its reputation, we work with clients to identify the best possible business strategy: to fend off inappropriate class petitions, to settle out of court, or to wage a full-scale court battle.
