Employment Litigation Is on the Decline, but Expect More Wage and Hour Claims

 

Aspects of the FLSA make challenges more likely.

In a recent study the amount of federal employment cases filed in the second and third quarter of 2020 was down. Harassment and discrimination cases showed the largest decrease of almost 20% less which was likely due to the number of workers that were working remotely which decreased actual interaction between workers. FMLA claims and wage and hour cases under FLSA were only down slightly. Due to the same reason that harassment and discrimination cases had decreased, it is likely that FLSA claims are likely to increase due to the increase of remote workers. This white paper reviews how the change from office to remote working makes it more difficult to monitor workers as well as other aspects of the FLSA that can make challenges more likely.
