The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) will hire an additional 55 investigators and 8 technicians to support its efforts to assist employers and ensure compliance with federal requirements. Investigators conduct investigations to determine employers’ compliance with applicable federal labor laws. Technicians provide front-line support for these efforts, including receipt and evaluation of incoming complaints and providing compliance assistance information for employers, workers and other stakeholders. Last year, WHD collected a record-setting $322 million in wages owed to workers. The Division also conducted a record-setting 3,700 public events to educate employers and workers alike about their workplace rights and responsibilities. Are you Compliant?
