Wage and Hour Compliance

Maintain Compliance with Wage and Hour Laws

Losing ONE wage and hour lawsuit can destroy your brand or put you out of business.

The average wage and hour lawsuit settles for $8.2 million dollars – and that doesn’t include costs related to lost time and productivity, legal fees, or the damaged morale and/or bad press that comes with defending your company. It’s as simple as this: Businesses that want to survive can’t afford to ignore wage & hour laws.

coAmplifi’s workforce management software makes it easy to help ensure that all time worked is time paid. Our platform helps protect companies like yours from legal disputes while simultaneously encouraging your employees to achieve better work-life balance.

Wage & hour compliance regardless of where your employees work

Reports show that employee success in winning wage and hour lawsuits is expected to explode in 2022 following an 81% employee success rate in 2021 and an 84% success rate in 2020.

Additionally, as companies continue to grapple with remote, hybrid, and on site work decisions, Q4 of 2021 saw a record number of workplace class action lawsuits filed by unions, employee advocates, and states.

These increases in wage and hour lawsuits are largely associated with:

Time Off
Management

Establish a system for the review and approval of requests for paid and unpaid time off, including holidays, leaves of absence, and other forms of time away from work.
