Unlike other books covering this area of the law, BNA<br />

Books’ <strong>Wage</strong> and <strong>Hour</strong> <strong>Laws</strong>: A <strong>State</strong>-<strong>by</strong>-<strong>State</strong> <strong>Survey</strong>,<br />

Second Edition goes beyond recitation of each<br />

state’s statutory law and provides detailed analyses<br />

of state regulations, wage orders, and court cases<br />

interpreting and applying the laws. Plus, this in-depth<br />

survey addresses special litigation issues particular to<br />

each state, including questions on choice of forum,<br />

availability of class actions, and more. This treatise<br />

covers all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and<br />

Puerto Rico, jurisdiction <strong>by</strong> jurisdiction, and addresses<br />

such state wage and hour law issues as:<br />

n Minimum wage and overtime<br />

n Timing, place, and manner of payment to employees<br />

n Mandatory payments in addition to overtime, such<br />

as shift differentials and reimbursements for tools<br />

and uniforms<br />

n Prohibitions on hours worked and mandatory leave,<br />

such as required rest periods and meal breaks<br />

n Enforcement and remedies<br />

n Special litigation issues, including availability of Rule<br />

23 class actions and prerequisites in state actions<br />

n Common law wage and hour actions (types of<br />

actions, defenses, and damages)<br />

n Attorneys’ fees litigation, jurisdiction <strong>by</strong> jurisdiction<br />

n Enforcement and remedies issues<br />

n Unique defenses to state wage and hour litigation<br />

<strong>State</strong> case analysis and state administrative agency<br />

rules and requirements can be very difficult to locate,<br />

and research on a state-wide basis is often difficult<br />

to conduct. <strong>Wage</strong> and <strong>Hour</strong> <strong>Laws</strong>: A <strong>State</strong>-<strong>by</strong>-<strong>State</strong><br />

<strong>Survey</strong>, Second Edition provides the most up-to-date<br />

analyses in an easy-to-follow format, saving hours<br />

of research and enabling practitioners to quickly<br />

find the information they need and compare laws in<br />

different states.<br />

(2011 Supplement)<br />

Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee<br />

ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law<br />

The most comprehensive coverage of this rapidly<br />

growing area of labor and employment law<br />

With its la<strong>by</strong>rinth of requirements, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)<br />

can be confusing and difficult. Now, this complex and rapidly expanding<br />

area of the law is presented in a single, balanced treatise that will become<br />

your reference of first resort as you advise clients, analyze fact patterns,<br />

and litigate cases under the FLSA. The Fair Labor Standards Act, Second<br />

Edition, with 2011 Supplement goes beyond descriptions of FLSA coverage<br />

and exemptions to help you determine why and how you should proceed<br />

on a particular course for your clients. This book contains discussion of:<br />

n Collective action litigation brought under the FLSA <strong>by</strong> individual<br />

private plaintiffs<br />

n “Hybrid” actions involving both state and federal law claims<br />

n Elements of enforcement actions and litigation brought <strong>by</strong> the<br />

Secretary of Labor<br />

You also get:<br />

n Point-<strong>by</strong>-point evaluations of each FLSA exemption<br />

n Proven steps and strategies for dealing with enforcement, remedies,<br />

and litigation<br />

n Special considerations for determining compensable hours, minimum<br />

wages, and overtime pay<br />

n Discussions concerning Department of Labor (DOL) administration,<br />

state and local government coverage, child-labor issues, and<br />

recordkeeping<br />

n Meticulous citations and footnotes—with decisions broken out<br />

<strong>by</strong> circuit<br />

The treatise also provides detailed analysis of a number of critical topics,<br />

including the 2004 revisions to the white-collar exemptions, the case law<br />

that has come down under the new regulations, and the 2008 SAFETEA-<br />

LU Technical Corrections Act.<br />

In addition to these developments, the FLSA coverage now includes a<br />

detailed description of joint employment and independent contractor<br />

status, as well as an examination of the economic reality test and<br />

individual liability of corporate officers and owners. The chapter on<br />

compensable work time takes an in-depth look at preliminary and<br />

postliminary time, off-the-clock time, and travel time. Count on The<br />

Fair Labor Standards Act, Second Edition, with 2011 Supplement to<br />

provide the practical insights on real-world questions about litigation,<br />

remedies, and more that will ensure you are fully informed about this<br />

critical law.
