David I. Brody, partner in the firm’s Employment Department, spoke at the Boston Bar Association’s (BBA) Labor and Employment Section webinar, “Show Me the Money: A Beginner’s Guide to Wage and Hour Laws,” on Friday, January 29, 2021. As part of the BBA’s “Friday Fundamentals,” the virtual program offered perspectives regarding the interpretation and compliance with both state and federal wage and hour laws.

David and fellow speakers discussed a range of topics, including what are and are not considered “wages,” how and when employees must be paid, how the various exemptions to overtime are interpreted, and how wage and hour cases are litigated. The panel also provided insight on unique wage and hour challenges in the COVID-19 and remote working environment.
