Mekesha Montgomery Presents at 2026 LEAP Conference

April 8, 2026 – April 10, 2026 Paris Las Vegas | Las Vegas, Nevada

FBT Gibbons is proud to sponsor the 2026 LEAP Conference in Las Vegas.

On Friday, April 10, Mekesha Montgomery will present a session focused on wage‑and‑hour liabilities for employers, an area of increasing complexity and risk. Her presentation will address key compliance challenges, including:

• Employee versus independent contractor misclassification
• Exempt and nonexempt employee classification
• Overtime requirements, meal periods, and rest breaks
• Differences between state and federal wage‑and‑hour laws

Wage‑and‑hour regulations are notoriously complex, and even common missteps can result in significant financial exposure, including millions of dollars in compensatory damages and substantial penalties. As employers increasingly incorporate
artificial intelligence into workplace practices, compliance challenges continue to grow.

This session will provide practical guidance on navigating these evolving laws, avoiding the most common pitfalls, and implementing strategies designed to reduce legal risk and strengthen compliance efforts.
