How NOT TO Defend a Wage Reconstruction Case in New Jersey

We talk about the mind-bogglingly terrible decision Calero v. Target, a June 10, 2020 case where the employer was hit with a doubled award because of defenses not raised! This audio is from a live webinar provided to clients on July 27, 2020.

Topics discussed:

  • What is wage reconstruction and when is it appropriate?
  • When and how to raise legal defenses to wage reconstruction cases.
  • Practical aspects of defending wage reconstruction claims, including a discussion of the proofs needed at trial.
  • In depth discussion of Calero and other case law that counsel should know about.
