Steven G. Pearl to Present Video Podcast on Common Employer Mistakes in Wage and Hour Practice and Litigation

Steven G. Pearl will appear on After Hours, a video podcast series hosted by Arent Fox partner and management-side litigator Harry Johnson. Mr. Pearl and Mr. Johnson will discuss Common Employer Mistakes in Wage and Hour Practice and Litigation:

Although many employers and their attorneys work diligently to ensure compliance with California and Federal wage and hour law, full compliance can be difficult, and certain requirements may be ignored. To make matters worse, many employers and their attorneys take an overly-aggressive approach in litigation, compounding what may be relatively minor violations and opening themselves to far greater exposure than necessary.
