Highlights
Wage and hour lawsuits are some of the most significant legal threats to staffing firms and other employers.

In this webinar, staffing and employment law attorney Andrew P. Yacyshyn of Tannenbaum Helpern Syracuse & Hirschtritt LLP will address common wage and hour liabilities for staffing industry employers, wage payment obligations, and proactive strategies to help mitigate risk.

- How to put a staffing firm in the best position to defend against a wage and hour action
