Join us for breakfast as NYWIFT presents a panel discussion on internships, training programs and related employment issues in partnership with the law firm Outten & Golden LLP, which represents executives and employees in advertising, film and television and also litigates class actions in the wage and hour and discrimination arena. After the Black Swan case, the legal guidelines for internship programs is an issue that every entertainment company should take seriously. This presentation will focus on the legal issues involved in that case and provide models for successful training programs and other compensation related issues for freelancers and contract employees in the film and television industry.

The panel of legal, human resources and training experts will discuss how employers can avoid wage and hour violations, including unpaid overtime and minimum wages, off-the-clock practices (not paying workers for all time worked), time shaving, overtime avoidance by mis-classifying employees and unlawful deductions from wages.
