Wage & Hour Watch

Welcome to the Wage & Hour Watch, which features ruminations and insights derived from Compliance Specialist Mike Staebell's 33 years enforcing federal labor laws for the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Mike's blog features entries on the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and lesser-known statutes such as the Davis-Bacon Act, H-1B, and more. These articles offer tips on staying in compliance, updates on new laws and regulations, and how to deal with DOL investigations should you be subjected to one.
