Legal Representation For Florida Businesses Concerned About Wage and Hour Claims
Small and medium-size businesses in South Florida are right to be concerned about wage and hour claims. There are more minimum wage and overtime cases filed against employers in Florida than in any other state. Many misunderstand the requirements of Florida and federal wage and hour regulations. Some believe that the rules can be sidestepped using employment contracts to clarify expectations.
The penalties for companies underestimating wage and hour guidelines can be very expensive.
