The Problem

Many states have their own laws on a wide variety of wage and hour issues, such as minimum wage and tip credit requirements, overtime requirements, meal and rest breaks, minimum pay for reporting to work, direct deposit and payroll cards, frequency of pay, paystub requirements, notice of changes in pay or hours, deductions from employees’ pay, “use-it-or-lose-it” vacation policies, final payment upon termination, and others.

These laws differ from state to state in both minor and substantial ways. As employers well know, employees pay attention to and care about their pay, so it is important for employers to get it right. But for companies with employees in multiple states throughout the country, it is becoming more and more burdensome to keep track of and comply with these varied and ever-changing state wage and hour laws. Mere compliance with federal wage and hour laws is not sufficient to remain legally compliant.
