Department of Labor Ends Program That Allowed Employers to Self-Report Federal Minimum Wage and Overtime Violations
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Labor announced that the end of its Payroll Audit Independent Determination program launched by the department’s Wage and Hour Division in 2018, effective Jan. 29.
The program allowed employers to self-report federal minimum wage and overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act to avoid litigation, penalties or damages, and prohibited affected workers from taking any private action on the identified violations.
