Case Study: New Orleans Bakery improves FLSA recordkeeping with WorkforceHub

New Orleans Bakery avoids $127,128 labor dispute with WorkforceHub

The customer, a New Orleans bakery, faced a significant financial penalty of $127,128 after a Department of Labor investigation found it had violated FLSA record-keeping provisions by paying some employees in cash with no documentation. This costly labor dispute highlighted the bakery's challenge of maintaining compliance with complex wage and hour laws using inadequate manual processes. To address this, the bakery turned to the vendor WorkforceHub for an automated time and attendance solution.

WorkforceHub implemented its automated timekeeping system to capture all the data required for FLSA compliance, including hours worked, overtime, schedules, and PTO. The solution created digital time cards automatically, eliminating the risk of errors from paper timesheets and ensuring accurate payroll records. By using WorkforceHub, the bakery gained a secure, cloud-based system that protects the business in the event of an audit and helps prevent future costly labor disputes.
