Event Details

Abstract

Regular check-ups can help to identify and resolve issues before they become costly problems, especially with the constantly evolving wage and hour compliance issues employers face. Fisher Phillips attorneys Matthew Korn and Stephen Gee will present the essential wage and hour compliance requirements all employers should be aware of to enable attendees to identify any potential gaps in their current wage and hour practices. Matthew and Stephen will highlight compliance with upcoming changes to FLSA overtime requirements, properly classifying employees as exempt from the overtime requirements, whether bonuses must be included in the regular rate for computing overtime premiums, tracking and paying for time worked by non-exempt employees, and other common wage and hour compliance issues for autism service provider organizations. With wage and hour lawsuits on the rise, you do not want to miss this important update.

Fisher Phillips is proud to be a CASP Business Affiliate. With over 500 attorneys in 38 offices across the United States and Mexico, Fisher Phillips is an international labor and employment firm providing practical business solutions for employers’ workplace legal problems.


Presenters

Matt Korn

Matthew Korn, JD, is a partner in the firm’s Columbia office, representing and advising employers in all areas of employment, labor, and health and safety law.

Matthew focuses his practice on defending employers across the country in complex class and collective action litigation, primarily involving wage and hour issues under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour laws, mass layoffs, and plant closings under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), and background check documentation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Matthew has substantial experience working with employers in many industries, including the hospitality and restaurant, construction and heavy equipment, mining, pharmaceutical, healthcare, and manufacturing industries.

Matthew also enjoys advising clients on day-to-day employment issues arising under federal and state employment laws such as Title VII, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). Matthew represents employers in government audits and investigations, including USDOL audits and OSHA/MSHA investigations. Additionally, he assists employers with traditional labor matters, including union avoidance campaigns, unfair labor practice charges, grievance arbitrations, and collective bargaining negotiations. Matthew regularly provides interactive training for supervisors and managers on employment and labor law compliance.

Matthew’s experience working as in-house counsel at a multinational, publicly traded company has provided him with the unique ability to view employment law problems from the client’s perspective so that he can provide practical business advice and solutions to firm clients.
Prior to joining the firm, Matthew worked for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), litigating mine safety and health cases before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission. Matthew uses this experience to counsel clients during government investigations, implementing proactive safety programs, and throughout the litigation process.

While in law school, Matthew served as a judicial intern for the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission and as Managing Editor of the Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy. As recognition for his exemplary work, Matthew was a recipient of the William J. Curtin Endowed Scholarship in Labor Relations.

Matt is a 2023 CASP Mission Award recipient.
