Description
An in-depth survey of the wage and hour laws specific to each state
Unlike other books covering this area of the law, BNA Books’ Wage and Hour Laws: A State-by-State Survey, Second Edition goes beyond recitation of each state’s statutory law and provides detailed analyses of state regulations, wage orders, and court cases interpreting and applying the laws. Plus, this in-depth survey addresses special litigation issues particular to each state, including questions on choice of forum, availability of class actions, and more. This treatise covers all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and addresses such state wage and hour law issues as:
- Minimum wage and overtime
- Timing, place, and manner of payment to employees
- Mandatory payments in addition to overtime, such as shift differentials and reimbursements for tools and uniforms
- Prohibitions on hours worked and mandatory leave, such as required rest periods and meal breaks
- Enforcement and remedies
- Special litigation issues, including availability of Rule 23 class actions and prerequisites in state actions
- Common law wage and hour actions (types of actions, defenses, and damages)
- Attorneys’ fees litigation, jurisdiction by jurisdiction
- Enforcement and remedies issues
- Unique defenses to state wage and hour litigation
State case analysis and state administrative agency rules and requirements can be very difficult to locate, and research on a state-wide basis is often difficult to conduct. Wage and Hour Laws: A State-by-State Survey, Second Edition provides the most up-to-date analyses in an easy-to-follow format, saving hours of research and enabling practitioners to quickly find the information they need and compare laws in different states.
