The U.S. Dept of :Labor estimates that close to 70% of all employers routinely violate wage and hour regulations. Unfortunately, many do not realize it until they are sued.
According to the 2010 Fulbright report on litigation trends, the fastest growing area of litigation is wage and hour issues, up 18 percent in 2010 alone. This trend is expected to continue.
Wage and hour issues are also one of the fastest growing areas for class action lawsuits. Last year, the ten largest private wage and hour settlements totaled nearly $364 million.
