Wage & Hour Compliance

Strategic Guidance to Help Employers Avoid Costly Violations

Wage and hour violations can result in steep penalties, class action exposure, and reputational damage for employers. At Robinson & Lawing, LLP, we help businesses and HR professionals understand and comply with federal and North Carolina wage laws, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the North Carolina Wage and Hour Act. From employee classification to overtime disputes, we offer proactive legal guidance that aligns workplace practices with current legal requirements.

Proactive Support for Employers

Employers often struggle with wage-related compliance, particularly in dynamic or growing organizations. Our attorneys assist with:

• Determining exempt vs. non-exempt status under federal and state law
• Reviewing timekeeping, break, and scheduling policies
• Ensuring proper overtime pay practices
• Responding to audits and Department of Labor investigations
• Defending wage-related claims in court or administrative proceedings

We tailor our counsel to each client’s structure and industry, helping avoid common pitfalls that lead to wage claims.

Local Counsel for Employers Across Industries

We serve as local counsel for national companies and employment law firms managing North Carolina-based compliance or litigation. Whether supporting internal counsel or collaborating with outside firms, we ensure your wage and hour issues are addressed thoroughly and in accordance with state law.

Mediation and Alternative Resolution When Needed

Wage disputes can escalate quickly, but litigation isn't always the best path forward. Our firm supports alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and early-stage negotiation, to limit exposure and preserve valuable business relationships when possible. Our attorneys are also experienced mediators who understand the full lifecycle of employment disputes.
