DOL Wage and Hour Investigation Planning Checklist

Summary

This checklist provides steps for identifying compliance gaps, helping employers understand their wage and hour compliance and investigation responsibilities, and establishing plans and response teams in advance of on-site inspections. Taking preventive measures long before the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) begins a wage and hour investigation will help employers avoid or minimize violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage and hour law.
