Join the FRLA Northeast FL Chapter for an essential dive into the 80/20 rule and learn how to ensure compliance for documenting your staff’s hours. Protect your business from audits and potential lawsuits by former employees. We’re hearing from members that they are being served with lawsuits from former staff alleging non-compliance with the ruling. Don’t let this happen to you!
FRLA member and Board member Gary Wheeler from Constangy, Brooks, Smith & Prophete will provide valuable insights on the rule and how it applies to your restaurant and hotel staff. We understand this ruling can be confusing and pose compliance challenges. Gary will share guidance on protecting your business, from onboarding employees to documenting work during shifts.
