Labor Standards and Statistics

Labor Standards investigates, enforces, and issues rules and guidance on labor laws such as:

• wages & hours (minimum, overtime, deductions, etc.); 
• health-related leave and whistleblowing; 
• pay and promotion transparency, and limits on screening applicants; 
• union-management relations (elections and certain grievances); and 
• certain work conditions (for minors, in agriculture, etc.).
