In this attorney-authored article, Garry Mathiason of Littler's San Francisco office, and Mark Thierman, founder of the Thierman Law Firm in Reno, Nevada, examine the recent history and future of wage-and-hour collective and class actions. "Although the law has remained the same, class actions and government compliance efforts are skyrocketing, causing everything to change," write Mathiason and Thierman. "Eventually there will be greater recognition of the necessity for new wage-and-hour laws reflecting the reality of the digital workplace."
