Plaintiffs' attorneys are hungry to file suit against organizations for fair labor standards violations. Those mistakes can serve as a breeding ground for class action lawsuits under California and federal law - often with huge payouts. Knowing this, most organizations pay great attention to their overtime pay practices, but one area that often gets overlooked is travel pay.

Verdicts and settlements against your organization for travel pay violations could cost you just as dearly as ones for overtime violations. Don't wait for the California Department of Industrial Relations or the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division to investigate your organization's travel pay practices or for a full-fledged lawsuit to find out if you've been properly compensating your workforce for their travel time.

Join us on October 2 for an in-depth 90 minute interactive webinar, specifically for California employers, on how to determine once and for all who's entitled to travel pay and who's not. Our experts—both experienced California labor and employment attorneys—will explain how to draft and enforce a travel pay policy in compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act and California law. Also, you'll learn:

• The key questions you need to ask and issues you need to examine before determining whether a worker is entitled to travel pay
• Real-life examples of when overnight travel, travel during regular work time, commute time travel and travel to attend training programs and meetings are/are not compensable under California and federal law
• Common instances when the FLSA may conflict with California's wage and hour laws governing travel pay and what to do when that happens
• The differing compensation rules covering exempt and non-exempt (hourly) workers and their entitlement to travel pay
• The practical steps you should take to protect your organization from travel pay claims
• When waiting time and on-call time may be compensable under state and federal law
