Source: Wage and Hour Compliance Action Data, U.S. Department of Labor. Accessed November 19, 2020. Note: This data is representative of DOL investigations across public and private K-12 organizations only. It does not include private or class action lawsuits filed in federal or state courts.
Data from the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division shows that K-12 organizations in every state have faced Fair Labor and Standards Act (FLSA) investigations — and 58.3% of these investigations find FLSA violations These investigations can lead to stiff penalties and massive payouts. One large district faced over $1.5 million in back wages and civil monetary penalties from a single audit.
Most investigations don’t result in such staggering penalties, but the numbers are still nothing to sneeze at. When FLSA violations are found, education organizations pay an average of over $22,000 in back wages and fines.
If you haven’t been audited by the Department of Labor in the past — or if a previous inspection didn’t unearth any violations — don’t let your guard down. When it comes to FLSA actions against K-12 employers, organizations who have not violated FLSA in the past account for 97% of investigations, 84% of violations and 92% of total back wages and fines assessed.
If you were faced with a Department of Labor audit tomorrow, would you be confident in your records and processes?
If not, it’s time to take action. Auditors may arrive at your district without prior notice or at random — they don’t need to wait for an employee complaint.
Here’s how to prepare:
