Description

The mission of the Dept. of Labor's Wage and Hour Div. (WHD) includes enforcing provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is designed to ensure that millions of workers are paid the fed. minimum wage and overtime. Conducting investigations based on worker complaints is WHD's priority. This testimony relates to: (1) undercover tests of WHD's complaint intake process; (2) case study examples of inadequate WHD responses to wage complaints; and (3) the effectiveness of WHD's complaint intake process, conciliations (phone calls to the employer), and other investigative tools. To test WHD's complaint intake process, the auditor posed as complainants and employers in 10 different scenarios. Charts and tables.
