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.
