Tag: Labor Violations

The US Department of Labor, a.k.a. DOL, regulates and enforces employee rights and laws.

We monitor press releases published by the US Department of Labor. Most of the actions taken are against small companies. We publish this content not to embarrass the company but to inform the public, and hopefully, other small employers might learn from the mistakes of others.

This tag, “Labor Violations,” will usually be categorized in the “Business News,” and the accompanying tags should be the “US Department of Labor.”

We strongly encourage small business owners and managers to read this content to learn what may happen to them if they don’t follow the laws. Most cases are civil, and the penalties and back pay involve hundreds of dollars of illegal practices.
