"Surge in FLSA Suits Not Expected to End Soon," Law360.com
This article examines the various reasons behind the increase in FLSA law suits. Lee Schreter of Littler's Atlanta office explains why employers are easily susceptible to these suits. "The reason employers are still finding themselves in the plaintiffs bar's crosshairs over wage and hour practices isn't that companies are dragging their feet on compliance, but because of the inherent difficulties in applying a Great Depression-era statute to the modern workplace," said Schreter.
