As part of its ongoing efforts to assist employers in understanding their responsibilities under federal employment law, the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor recently added publicly available presentations to its website. The presentations cover topics under the Fair Labor Standards Act, such as wage and hour requirements, child labor requirements, and an employers responsibilities to provide rest breaks and proper facilities for nursing mothers.
During the past year the Department of Labor has added other content to its online materials including the Handy Reference Guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Department states that these online tools are designed to ensure a greater understanding of the federal labor laws and regulations.
