Wage and hour laws: Six issues to monitor as the landscape changes

There are six wage and hour issues that could affect your legal risks and responsibilities in the coming year. You may have to adjust your business practices and assess whether your employee time tracking software can continue to support compliance. Modern solutions with data and auditing capabilities can prove helpful if you find yourself facing a lawsuit or investigation as a result of the following:

1. Time clock rounding
   Courts have become increasingly hostile to time clock rounding because sophisticated timekeeping systems have made it unnecessary.
2. Bootup time
   Some courts have found the time spent waiting for computers to boot up to be compensable, or worthy of compensation.
3. Tracking security checks
   Some state courts have recognized the potential for security-check time to be considered compensable, especially if the checks are extensive or required on a regular basis.
