Retail

The retail industry continues to see challenges to the exempt/non-exempt status of employees for purposes of payment of overtime, payment for "off-the-clock" work (particularly in the retail grocery industry), and promotion of minorities to management positions. Constangy offers internal FLSA compliance audits which can be of vital importance in determining potential exposure to wage and hour liabilities, and corrective action, when necessary. Likewise, Constangy works with its clients in identifying, analyzing, and resolving institutional barriers to promotion of qualified minorities, and can also ably defend retail employers in discrimination actions before government agencies and the courts.
