FAQs

How can I ensure compliance with wage and hour laws?

Compliance with wage and hour laws is vital to avoid penalties and lawsuits. At Eleven Private Law Firm, led by John Wilson, Esq., we guide businesses through this process. Here’s a concise approach:

First, understand the laws. The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) sets federal standards for minimum wage ($7.25/hour), overtime, and recordkeeping. States like California ($16/hour in 2025) often have stricter rules on wages, breaks, and overtime. Industry-specific laws, like prevailing wages, may also apply.

Second, classify workers correctly. Exempt employees (salaried, no overtime) must earn at least $844/week ($43,888/year) in 2025, increasing to $1,128/week ($58,656/year) by January 1, 2025. Non-exempt workers get overtime at 1.5x for hours over 40/week. Ensure independent contractors meet IRS criteria to avoid misclassification penalties.

Third, track hours accurately. Record non-exempt employees’ hours, breaks, and overtime using reliable systems. Keep records for 3 years (4 in some states). Pay for all work, including emails or prep time.

Fourth, follow overtime and break rules. Pay non-exempt workers overtime and provide required breaks (e.g., California: 30-minute meal break for shifts over 5 hours, 10-minute rest every 4 hours).

How can I minimize my tax liability?

Minimizing tax liability requires careful planning and knowledge of the law. Common strategies include taking advantage of available deductions and credits, structuring your business or investments in a tax-efficient way, and planning ahead for future obligations. At Eleven Private Law Firm, we work with clients to identify legal strategies that reduce tax burdens while ensuring full compliance with current regulations. Our goal is to help you keep more of your earnings while avoiding costly mistakes.

How can I protect my company from employment-related lawsuits?

The best protection is prevention. Employers can reduce the risk of lawsuits by having clear workplace policies, fair employment contracts, proper training for managers, and consistent documentation of employee matters. It is also important to comply with federal and state labor laws regarding wages, overtime, discrimination, and workplace safety. At Eleven Private Law Firm, we help businesses create strong policies, review employment agreements, and provide legal guidance to minimize risks and protect your company from costly disputes.
