Steven D. Irwin Reviews the Cost of Non-Compliance

PITTSBURGH, PA – June 12, 2007 – Steven D. Irwin was recently published in the Employee Relations Law Journal with an article, "The Fair Labor Standards Act: The High Cost of Non-Compliance."

The article examines the consequences for businesses who fail to comply with every aspect of the Fair Labor Standards Act.  Employers facing enforcement by the United States Department of Labor or private suits by employees are recognizing the high costs associated with non-compliance:  injunctions, demands for payment of backpay, civil money penalties, fines, liquidated damages and in some cases attorney’s fees.  Willful violators may also be prosecuted criminally.
