Michigan Wage and Hour Compliance Attorney

In the last several years, the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has changed, affecting who is considered an exempt employee and who is not. Michigan also has its own wage and hour laws that need to be complied with. The penalties for employer mistakes can be significant. At the Law Office of Paul A. Callam, PLC in Ann Arbor, Michigan, we help employers understand and stay in compliance with state and federal employment laws.

Contact our employment law firm to discuss how we can help your business address accountability with such wage and hour concerns as:

• Exempt and non-exempt workers
• Overtime pay
• Federal minimum wage
• Michigan minimum wage differences
• Use of "comp time" and other wage disputes

Some workers, such as administrative employees, are no longer commonly exempt, and non-compliance can result in a company retroactively paying back thousands in overtime wages in addition to fines and other penalties. Attorney Paul Callam provides the business and employment law background and experience clients need to clearly define their wage and hour policies and ensure they remain compliant under the law.

Understanding State versus Federal Compliance

Staying in compliance with both state and federal laws can be a challenge for any Michigan employer. There are different state rules, such as Michigan minimum wage requirements, that can supplant the federal act under certain circumstances. Appropriate application for many companies becomes a complex matter of weaving through wage and hour regulations in order to maintain compliance. Our experienced lawyer helps clients interpret the laws and establish a consistent plan that protects their business from liability.

In addition to providing ongoing employment law support for those clients without their own in-house counsel, our attorney is available as a consultant on particular projects handling wage and hour, FMLA and other employee matters. We also represent employers involved in employment dispute litigation.
