Wage-Hour Webinars Available from Harles & Associates

Disability service providers have special wage-hour concerns not faced by other employers. They include the special minimum wage provisions for workers with disabilities under Section 14(c) of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Organizations that provide residential services must also deal with special rules dealing with staff including sleep time, overtime and exempt status.

DOL is increasing their scrutiny of disability service providers. Investigations are increasing and back wage liabilities can easily exceed $100,000 to say nothing of the adverse publicity that can result. In 2007 DOL conducted 247 investigations where 4663 workers with disabilities were paid $1.286 million in back wages.
