I am recognized as a subject matter expert in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Section 14(c) Sub-minimum Wage, Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA), Migrant & Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) and the H-2A, H-1B and H-2B Visa Programs, the Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Walsh Healey Public Contracts Act (PCA) . I also have experience with Davis Bacon & Related Acts (DBRA) and Service Contract Act (SCA) .
I offer a wide range of services including consultation, technical assistance, compliance audits, training, internal investigations, representation during Wage & Hour investigations, back wage computations and expert testimony for large and small employers of all classifications. I work with employers, attorneys, CPAs and accounting firms, associations, agents and state and local government organizations.
My experience as a Wage and Hour investigator is invaluable when it comes to getting and keeping you in compliance and guiding you through the Wage and Hour investigation process. I also provide outreach, presentations and training for private, non-profit & public sector groups to keep your staff up-to-date on the ever changing technical rules and regulations.
