Report Link Hospitals Again Accused Of Conspiring To Suppress Nurses’ Wages.
Fisher & Phillips, LLP - August 15, 2007
As hospitals compete for an ever-tighter supply of registered nurses (RNs), they carefully track compensation practices in their markets. Despite bonuses, creative pay plans, flexible schedules and in-house staffing pools, however, most hospitals have also had to use high-priced nursing agencies at one time or another. These agencies temporarily lease nurses to hospitals that are unable to meet all of their staffing needs with their own employees.
Report Link $800 per inch?
Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 29, 2007
It may not seem obvious, but statistically speaking, the height of an average American male is usually reported as 5’9". Do most people seem taller than that? According to various studies, only 15% of all American men are 6’ tall or more. Yet 42% of all American presidents have been 6’ or over, 58% of CEOs are over six feet tall, and a whopping 90% of CEOs are at least above average height.
Report Link Wage and Hour Violations: An Employer’s Single Greatest Uninsured Risk.
Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - May 04, 2007
Violations of the wage and hour provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and analogous state statutes are the single largest liability exposure for employers. Since 1997, wage and hour litigation has tripled while most other employment litigation has stabilized or declined. More wage and hour collective/class actions have been filed in recent years than all other types of employment class actions combined. Hope is not lost, however. Employers can take steps to avoid – or at least mitigate – wage and hour violations and resulting litigation.
Report Link Hospitality: Are Your Employees’ Records A Ticking Time Bomb?
Fisher & Phillips, LLP - February 13, 2007

Report Link Review Your State Time-Off-to-Vote Laws Before Tuesday!
Jackson Lewis LLP - November 06, 2006
With Election Day on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, it is a good time for employers to review their policies and practices regarding employee time off to vote and related issues. Thirty-one states and Puerto Rico obligate employers to provide employees time off to vote if certain prerequisites are met, with civil and/or criminal penalties for non-compliance. Some of these jurisdictions require such time to be paid for non-exempt employees and/or require employers to post notices advising employees of their rights.
Report Link Sharing Compensation or Benefit Information Between Competitors May Violate Antitrust Laws.
Littler Mendelson, P.C. - October 05, 2006
Employers commonly participate in surveys to assist in setting competitive wage rates, salaries, or benefits. With today's tight labor markets, these surveys can be valuable in attracting and retaining employees. However, a series of lawsuits filed during the summer of 2006 demonstrate that there are potential dangers in this practice.
Report Link Wage and Hour Compliance Must Take into Account State Wage Laws Often Different from Federal FLSA.
Jackson Lewis LLP - January 18, 2005
While the national debate focused attention upon the new regulations under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, employers also must focus upon state laws governing compensation of employees, including statutes mandating overtime compensation.
