Good Fruit Grower summarized a recent webinar by Stokes Lawrence attorney Sean Worley and Enrique Gastelum, CEO of WAFLA. The presentation to Washington growers detailed the importance of calculating a regular rate of pay to accurately compensate their workers for downtime, rest breaks, and overtime, whether they are paid hourly, by piece rate, or by some hybrid method.While mistakes may be honest, miscalculating workers’ wages in the age of mandatory rest break pay, downtime pay, and overtime pay may result in costly fines or potential litigation.Read Good Fruit Grower’s recap of Sean Worley’s presentation in the article “Calculating wages: Show your work.”
