wage & hour insurance
Wage & hour suits are on the rise. From 2000 to 2015 wage and hour suits filed increased by 450%. Federal and state guidelines concerning the proper classification and payroll compensation of a workforce are dynamic and complex. Further, D&O and EPLI policies do not typically cover wage and hour or FLSA claims. Bridging the gap left by other employers’ coverages, Midlands Wage & Hour Insurance provides financial protection for your clients from staggering defense costs, settlements or judgments.
