The DOL (Department of Labor) is increasing its focus on compliance with labor laws with specific emphasis on wage and hour regulations. With promotional programs encouraging employees to report suspected violations, this renewed emphasis on compliance now poses significant regulatory and monetary risks to employers. As one example of recent sanctions, in 2010 one of the DOL settlements totaled $85 million.

Join us for an educational webinar with Amy Hutchens, Vice President of Compliance and Ethics Services for Watermark Risk Management International LLC in which she will focus on:

• The DOL Strategic Plan for 2011-2016
• Specific risks created by the Department of Labor’s “Plan, Prevent and Protect” and “We Can Help” programs
• Industries targeted for DOL enforcement
• Key wage and hour issues that pose the greatest risks
• Compliance strategies including the integration of wage and hour initiatives into your corporate compliance program

The session will include real-world examples and lessons learned from recent wage and hour lawsuits.

• Chief Compliance Officer and Compliance Personnel
• Legal/Regulatory Counsel
• VP and Directors of Human Resources
