Protecting Your Rights To Pay & Leave During COVID-19 Pandemic

The OFCCP Southeast Region and ODEP invites you to attend our upcoming virtual WRP information session for HBCU ADA Coordinators and staff that assists individuals with disabilities.

The Workforce Recruitment Program for College Students with Disabilities (WRP) is a recruitment and referral program that connects federal and select private-sector employers nationwide with college students, graduate students, and recent graduates with disabilities eager to demonstrate their skills through summer internships or permanent jobs. WRP is free for schools and students.

Please join us during this information session to learn more!

• Strengthen Your School’s Employment Connections
• Increase job and internship prospects for your students and recent graduates with disabilities! WRP applicant information is viewed by federal employers from all Cabinet-level Departments and many independent federal agencies nationwide.
• Develop your students’ resume-writing and interview skills. WRP applicants can engage in a remote informational interview and resume review with a federal recruiter.
• Gain professional development through training and webinars with WRP staff. Expand your knowledge of Federal Government hiring so you can educate your students about federal service.
• Advance your school’s diversity and inclusion efforts by growing the relationship between your career, disability, and veterans services offices. Collaborate with other colleges and universities to share best practices on managing WRP successfully.

WHEN AND WHERE ARE TEENS ALLOWED TO WORK?

Every year, millions of teens work in part-time or summer jobs. Early work experiences can be rewarding for young workers, providing great opportunities to learn important skills. However, the jobs that teens do should not jeopardize their health or well-being.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s YouthRules! initiative promotes positive and safe work experiences for young workers by educating parents, teens, employers, and educators about the types of jobs teens can hold and the number of hours they can work.

Representatives from the Wage and Hour Division’s Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Wilkes Barre District Offices will provide information and resources regarding federal youth employment regulations and representatives from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Labor Law Compliance will provide information regarding the Pennsylvania Child Labor Act.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) in Kansas City, Kansas along with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the U.S. Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be presenting on their continuing efforts during COVID-19 to employees, business owners and other stakeholders. 

The U.S. Department of Labor protects the workplace rights of essential workers who are keeping our country moving forward during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Workers in grocery stores, health care, delivery services, retail establishments, agriculture, construction and other essential industries have remained on the job despite many potential risks to their own health or that of their families.  The U.S. Department of Labor is committed to ensuring that these, and all workers, receive the workplace protections provided under the law.

Rapid changes in the workplace have surfaced many questions for workers, their advocates, and employers about safety, wages, hours worked, and time off for workers or their family members dealing with serious illness.  The Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 provide protections for workers that may be more crucial now than ever before.

The Wage and Hour Division and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration are pleased to offer a special training for the general public and representatives in Texas on these critical workplace protections through our Essential Workers - Essential Protections Initiative.
