Why you should attend

The failure to maintain adequate and sufficient records under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) can result in a substantial back pay award.

Under the FLSA, the burden is on the employer to maintain and preserve such records. If this burden is not properly met, courts will accept as evidence of overtime worked information provided by the employee, whose recollections about the number of hours worked will typically be much more generous than those of the employer.

Also, case law has established that an employer’s failure to produce required records creates a presumption that those records would have been favorable to the plaintiff’s cause of action and detrimental to the employer’s position.

Proper pay records maintenance is only the beginning. Your organization is required to create, manage, retain, and properly destroy numerous other employment records and notices.

These records and notices typically require a specific format, often require posting and notice, and regularly require ongoing maintenance.

Any failure in record creation, retention, and destruction can result in significant liabilities and create potential monetary penalties.
