Third Thursday Webinar - Wage Hour Law and Practice: What to Expect in 2016

Webinar | 03.24.16, 8:00 AM EDT - 9:00 AM EDT

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.

Our topic this month is wage hour law, and the timing is right for an overview. In the past week, the Department of Labor has moved forward with its revised regulations concerning overtime eligibility, sending them for final approval by the Office of Management and Budget. Wage hour cases continue to dominate the federal courts’ dockets, and compliance issues continue to confound both large and small employers. Several impending regulatory initiatives will present additional challenges. For example, the Department of Labor is also addressing the “joint employer” test applicable in a variety of employment law matters. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on another donning and doffing case as well as a case addressing whether service advisers are properly classified as exempt. The California state legislature continues to issue burdensome rules, including a new statute regulating compensation for both piece rate work and rest breaks. Lower courts continue to issue conflicting rules pertaining to the settlement of wage-hour claims, and they will likely continue to differ in their implementation of Supreme Court guidance on a variety of substantive and procedural issues.


Our panelists will discuss these issues as part of a review of the 2016 challenges facing companies seeking to achieve wage hour compliance and control litigation costs.

The Artificial Intelligence Agenda from Capitol Hill to State Capitals: Where We Are and Where We Are (Probably) Going

The landscape of AI governance and regulation is shifting. Following the release of the White House’s “America’s AI Action Plan” in July 2025 and the President’s signing of related Executive Orders, the White House has emphasized (at least rhetorically) a preference for innovation, adoption, and deregulation. But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
