A free  compliance assistance webinar to help employers in all industries understand their legal obligations when employing young workers.  The Wage and Hour Division prioritizes protections for young workers. Employers are responsible for providing youths with a safe working environment and paying wages required under federal law. Young workers have the right to work where they are not at risk of workplace injury and where employers make safeguarding their safety and health a priority. This webinar will help employers understand federal labor laws and how they apply to the employment of minors, and will provide information and resources to help employers better identify work that is safe and that does not jeopardize minors’ health, well-being, or educational opportunities. Knowing the federal and state rules regarding young workers will enable the employment of minors in lawful work activities, and help ensure that they have safe and rewarding work experiences.

Minors are limited in the types of jobs and number of hours that they can work. The rules vary by age, and the requirements may be different if they work in agriculture. States may have their own set of rules that must be followed and are sometimes more stringent than federal law. To assist Oklahoma employers in recognizing differences between state and federal law, a representative from the Oklahoma Department of Labor will present during the webinar.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division and Occupational Safety and Health Administration protect 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. Both the Wage and Hour Division and OSHA are  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 union members and representatives on these critical workplace protections through our Essential Workers - Essential Protections Initiative. This special event is for union members and representatives based in the Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee) Region.
