Wage and hour violations can quietly drain your business, and most owners never see it coming until a class action lands on their desk.

In this episode, Don Foty, Founder and Managing Partner of Foty Law Group, shares how his firm has recovered real money for workers denied fair wages, and why cash flow in a contingency practice looks nothing like a typical hourly firm. You'll see what it takes to fund a case for months without pay, and why court approval alone can stretch settlement timelines out for a year.

You'll learn why outdated job descriptions and misclassified employees are two of the biggest risks sitting inside your payroll right now. You also hear how AI is already reshaping who qualifies for overtime exemptions, and why your HR practices need to keep up before they cost you.

If you want a firm that manages risk, protects cash flow, and stays ahead of wage and hour exposure, this conversation will change how you look at your own payroll practices.

Find out what's really at stake when wage compliance gets overlooked. Watch this episode of Standing Up for Workers Against Wage Injustice with Don Foty.
