The FLSA Certification Process: Emerging Legal Developments

This webinar will focus on recent developments in the law governing the certification of collective action classes under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Circuit Courts of Appeals have recently articulated stricter standards for plaintiffs seeking to obtain certification and to issue notice to current and former employees. The speakers will examine what these rulings mean in practice for employers litigating wage and hour claims in these jurisdictions.
