As Connecticut employers join the rest of the country in support and solidarity for Hurricane Harvey victims, they are reminded that natural disasters and acts of God can strike at any time.

Wage and hour laws are often the source of the most confusion for employers. Calculating pay in the face of an emergency is not a one-size-fits-all analysis.
