Description

This continuing legal education course is designed to equip legal professionals with the essential skills needed to efficiently calculate wage damages using Excel. Whether you're preparing for a case evaluation, demand letter, or Rule 26 disclosure, mastering Excel can significantly enhance your ability to manage wage cases. The course will cover the basics of setting up a damages spreadsheet, applying formulas to calculate regular and overtime rates, and handling more complex scenarios such as spread-of-hours and weighted averages. Participants will learn through practical examples and hands-on exercises that demonstrate how to automate calculations and streamline their workflow.
