How Telecom Retailers Can Simplify Compliance

For telecom retailers with hourly employees, fewer issues cause more worry than compliance with labor laws.

There are so many rules and regulations – local, state, and federal labor laws, break rules, overtime rules – the list goes on.

And to further complicate things, the rules are constantly changing, especially during the continuing pandemic. And the penalties for non-compliance are steep, including fines, fees, and possible lawsuits.

So, what can telecom retailers do to maintain compliance in the face of constant change?
