Department of Labor
oversees many important laws that affect our everyday lives.
Commonly Asked Department of Labor Questions:
How can I get information about federal laws involving overtime, work hours, and other employment issues?
The Fair Labor Standards Act regulates many aspect of how employees are paid in this country. Read the Department of Labor's "Handy Reference Guide to the Fair Labor Standards Act"
How do I take advantage of the Family and Medical Leave Act?
There are many misconceptions about the Family and Medical Leave
Act of 1993. For example, in most cases you need to talk to your
employer about it before you take time off. Also, the law affects all
public employers, but only private employers who have 50 or more
employees. Read the Department of Labor's FMLA Fact Sheet
