You will also examine available tools, strategies and best practices for finding and evaluating the prior testimony of experts on both sides of a legal issue. |

Benefits
Many employers offer their employees the opportunity to work from home either on a regular or temporary basis. While the flexibility of a telecommuting arrangement can benefit both the employer and the employee, allowing a nonexempt employee to work at home can lead to a minefield of wage and hour issues that an employer must carefully navigate to avoid potential liability. As telecommuting has become more prevalent, there have been a number of lawsuits filed by telecommuting employees (often as class actions) claiming violation of various state and federal wage and hour laws, suggesting a new trend in wage and hour litigation. All employers who currently have nonexempt telecommuting employees or are considering allowing nonexempt employees to telecommute should make sure they are aware of the legal landscape affecting such employees and take steps to comply with all applicable legal requirements.
