Concerns about dealers being targeted by plaintiff's lawyers
Dealers are increasingly concerned about being targeted by plaintiff's lawyers who are capitalizing on wage and hour or labor law cases, including underpayments and discrimination claims. Wage and hour violations, particularly in the context of automobile salespeople who are paid commissions, are a major area of concern. Dealers need to be aware of the requirements to ensure they are paying employees at least minimum wage, even if they have high sales numbers. This issue is leading to an increase in dealers seeking legal advice to avoid falling into wage and hour traps.
