Obermayer Rebman Maxwell & Hippel, LLP.

Jason Reisman Appointed Member of The Wage & Hour Defense Institute (WHDI)
November 11, 2009

Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP is pleased to announce that partner Jason E. Reisman has recently been appointed a member of The Wage & Hour Defense Institute (WHDI) of the Litigation Counsel of America. WHDI is comprised of highly talented and experienced wage and hour defense attorneys from across the United States.

The WHDI serves as a nationwide network and meeting ground for top-tier practitioners to engage in professional development in a highly nuanced area of the law, and also to become an established resource for employers on wage and hour matters. Each member is selected for membership in the WHDI based on his or her individual skills and experience representing management in the defense of wage and hour litigation. WHDI members also actively counsel employers on classification determinations and payroll practices so as to proactively avoid litigation, using tools such as “audits” to examine an employee's classification as exempt or non-exempt or whether certain activities are compensable or non-compensable and whether overtime has been properly calculated.

Mr. Reisman is a member of Obermayer’s Labor Relations and Employment Law department. He concentrates his practice in the areas of labor and management relations, wage and hour, employment discrimination and executive employment/severance agreements, including non-competition and other restrictive covenants. He has extensive experience in equal employment opportunity matters before state and federal agencies, federal employment discrimination litigation, wage and hour (including overtime) litigation, collective bargaining, and representation case and unfair labor practice proceedings before the National Labor Relations Board. He also has comprehensive knowledge of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 (WARN Act).
