U.S. Department of Labor to Host Educational Forum Webinar to Discuss Wage Laws and Payroll Audit Independent Determination Program

DES MOINES, IA ­- The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) will present an educational forum about developments in its policies and regulations and its Payroll Audit Independent Determination Program (PAID), during a February 19, 2019, webinar for Iowa and Nebraska employers. PAID facilitates resolution of potential overtime and minimum wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The program’s primary objectives are to resolve such claims quickly and without litigation, to improve employers’ compliance with overtime and minimum wage obligations, and to ensure that more employees receive the back wages they are owed – faster. The forum will include a representative of the Division’s Washington, D.C., office and district staff in Des Moines, Iowa.
