The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division announced the launch of several compliance assistance resources on Monday.
The resources are designed to promote greater compliance with federal labor laws and provide employers with the tools and knowledge they need to prevent violations.
The new tools include a compliance assistance webpage, a video series on the Family and Medical Leave Act and revamped compliance assistance toolkits for various industries. The resources also provide guidance on understanding federal labor laws.
“The Wage and Hour Division is here to help employers make informed decisions about compliance so they can focus on running their businesses,” Andrew Rogers, wage and hour administrator, said in a statement. “We know that most employers want to follow the law and do right by their employees, so we are eager to offer these new resources to help them understand their obligations.
“We encourage American businesses and workers to take advantage of the new toolkits and FMLA videos, which are easy to use and available on our website.”
