Part Two features detailed wage and hour content for managers. Learners join a virtual work team to complete a series of dynamic and compelling challenges designed to teach managers how to comply with your organization's wage and hour policies, and the law.
Part Three highlights your wage and hour policies with ELT's innovative Policy in Action™ tool. Learners search your policies to find answers to your custom interactive questions.
