Death of the De Minimis Rule in California and the Impact on the Hospitality Industry

According to the de minimis rule, employers are excused, in some cases, from paying employees under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act for small amounts of otherwise compensable time. In July 2018, the California Supreme Court unanimously decided in Troester v Starbucks Corporation that the state’s wage and hour rules and regulations have not adopted the FLSA's de minimis doctrine, which means that employers no longer can overlook trivial minutes worked off the clock when calculating what employees are owed.

In this webinar, the speakers will explore this rule, its application in California, and how it will impact the hospitality industry, where hourly employment is the norm. They will present best practices for timekeeping and identify potential areas of risk for employers.
