Employment Law Report

By Mitzi D. Wyrick

What does your Department of Labor ("DOL") company profile look like? Did you know that the DOL has recently made its online enforcement database searchable and available to the public? In an effort at greater transparency, the DOL has posted its compliance and enforcement audit results online. Results are searchable in a variety of ways, including by zip code, by company, by state, or by industry sector. This means a company's wage and hour, OSHA, OFCCP, and EBSA audit results are now available to attorneys, unions, and even other agencies, such as the EEOC. The database is available at: http://ogesdw.dol.gov/index.php
