(INDIANAPOLIS) -- Employers are responsible for the workplace culture of a company, which includes providing employees with fair wages and hours. Understanding the nuances of federal and state wage and hour laws can encourage positive employee morale, while avoiding potential liabilities. 

To assist employers in this effort, the Indiana Chamber of Commerce presents the third edition of the Indiana Employers Guide to Wage and Hour Issues. The 200-page easy-to-read reference guide was written by a team of attorneys from Ice Miller, LLP.

Topics covered in the guide include coverage under the Fair Labor Standards Act; determining whether an employee is exempt; calculating compensable working time; calculating and paying wages; rules and regulations related to overtime pay; child labor provisions; enforcement of wage and hour laws; provisions of the Equal Pay Act and more.

Benefits administrators, managers, CEOs and CFOs, employee relations specialists, human resource professionals and anyone interested in compliance could benefit from the information provided.

Cost per guide is $85, or $63.75 with the Indiana Chamber member discount.

The Indiana Employers Guide to Wage and Hour Issues will be shipped in early May and is available through the Chamber's web site at www.indianachamber.com/publications (HR, Employment Law & Compliance section) or by calling (800) 824-6885. The guide is also available as an ePub (online version).
