D.O.L. Trying to Help with Misclassified Workers
In our continuing coverage of the government's stepped up efforts to reign in misclassified workers, the US Department of Labor (DOL) in the Obama 
administration, is now softening and trying to change the predatory approach and is trying to help employers with an internet resource designed to assist employers in navigating the legal changes of federal employment regulations.
The new DOL Web site features a series of interactive online Advisors, which, the DOL claims, “help users determine if they are in compliance with federal employment laws by asking questions, providing information and directing the individual to appropriate resolutions.”
Topics covered include:
- payroll and overtime
- workplace poster requirements
- health benefits
- re-employment rights for returning uniformed service members
- federal contractor compliance
