Hotel Lawyer with an alert about the DOL's historic action targeting hotels.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is taking historic action. With a huge increase in funding and staffing, the DOL is specifically targeting audits and enforcement actions for every hotel, motel, and resort in the U.S. The program will search for violations of overtime rules, minimum wage, and classification of exempt and non-exempt positions. In addition, one of the primary focal points of these audits will be employers with workers holding H-2B visas.
But lodging employers are at risk regardless of whether they have any H-2B employees. We expect the DOL compliance audits and enforcement actions to cover every Federal labor wage and hour regulation.
Hotel labor lawyer Marta Fernandez in today's Alert gives us "4 things that you should do now --before it is too late."
