Wage and hour disputes have been rising for several years. The city of Seattle has increased employee payouts over wage and scheduling disputes from $26,000 in 2014 to almost $4 million in 2020. These lawsuits are typically the result of paying below minimum wage, tip payout discrepancies, and not reporting overtime. As the laws get more complicated and more varied from market-to-market, we don’t expect them to slow down anytime soon.
Through many years of exciting growth we have continued the mission of creating solutions that address the industry’s most complex challenges around inventory, task management, analytics and HR & payroll services.
