WAGE AND HOUR SEMINAR
Presented by the U. S. Department of Labor.
Every day the Wage and Hour Division conducts investigations of businesses. If wage violations are found, the employer will be asked to pay the back wages. In the case of repeat violations, the employer will also be assessed civil money penalties, liquidated damages, and/or the employer may be placed under a U.S. District Court injunction. Child labor violations almost always result in civil money penalties; and in the case of willful or repeat violations, can also result in litigation. Your best defense is knowledge and compliance with the basic Wage and Hour Laws. Avoid penalties for violations! Learn the requirements. Topics to be covered:
• Employee Benefits Security
Administration (EBSA)
• Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC)
• Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Federal Child Labor Laws (CL)

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS SEMINARS
Presented by the U. S. Department of Labor.
Every day the Wage and Hour Division conducts investigations of employers who contract with the Federal Agencies to do construction (such as HUD housing or roads) or to provide services to governmental agencies (such as guards and janitorial services). These contracts contain certain labor stipulations which require contractors and subcontractors to pay employees a prevailing wage, fringe benefits, and keep certain records. If contractors or subcontractors fail in their responsibility to comply with these provisions, they may subject themselves to an array of sanctions, including the payment of back wages, removal from the contract, debarment, liquidated damages and the possibility of criminal prosecution. The employer’s best defense is the knowledge of how to comply with labor laws and regulations which pertain to workers employed on government contracts. You can register for one or both seminars. The morning seminar covers the Davis Bacon Act which applies to contractors and subcontractors doing federally funded construction (including ARRA). The afternoon seminar covers contractors and subcontractors providing services under the Service Contract Act.
Topics To Be Discussed:
• ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) Coverage (Parts A & B)
• DBA (Davis Bacon Act)
• CWHSSA (Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act)
• How FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) interacts with the above laws
Each seminar has been approved for 3.75 (General) recertification credit hours toward PHR, SPHR and GPHR recertification through the HR Certification Institute.
