The 2009 Cumulative Supplement to Wage and Hour Laws: A State-by-State Survey includes for the first time a discussion of developing state common law causes of action. The analysis is provided in a new overview of claims and defenses under both state statutory and state common law causes of action, accompanied by a useful "snapshot" table summarizing each state s substantive wage and hour laws, the common law elements that have been found applicable in wage and hour cases, the available remedies, and the procedural avenues for enforcement.
