The new rule will become effective January 1, 2020. Is your organization ready? Rembolt Ludtke employment law attorneys Mark Fahleson and Tara Paulson will discuss the history of the FLSA, the new requirements under the final rule, and strategies to help avoid an audit or lawsuit in the coming months.
