WHDProposed Rule

Rescission of Coordinated Enforcement Regulations

Labor & Workplace

Summary

The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division is proposing to cancel previous rules that coordinated enforcement efforts across multiple agencies to catch wage theft and labor violations. This change could mean less coordinated oversight of employer practices that affect workers' paychecks and workplace conditions.

Key Points

  • 1The rule would undo coordinated enforcement agreements between the Department of Labor and other federal agencies that worked together to catch wage violations
  • 2Workers may have fewer resources dedicated to investigating wage theft, misclassification of employees, and other labor law violations
  • 3The change affects how federal agencies communicate and share information about businesses that break labor laws
  • 4This is still a proposed rule, meaning the public can comment on whether this change should actually happen
  • 5Employers who violate wage and hour laws may face less coordinated oversight across different federal agencies
