Brief Intro:
The New York Department of Labor and the United States Department of Labor routinely perform random audits and inspections of companies, including small businesses, to ensure compliance with labor and employment laws.
Detailed Description:
If you own a business, you may receive a notification letter from the DOL telling you that your business will be subject to a labor audit. Regardless of the size of your business, any notification from the DOL should be taken seriously.
Some of the things the DOL are looking for include but are not limited to:
-
Records of overtime pay for nonexempt employees
-
Compliance with wage-hour laws
-
Proper classification status
