Employers are subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Section 11(a) of the FLSA identifies the Department of Labor as the investigative arm of the government to conduct cases and audits on U.S. businesses.
The federal or state New York City Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division (WHD) under the FLSA can look at employer records regarding wages, hours, they can question employees, and study the employer's employment practices.
Like the federal DOL, the New York DOL branch investigates employers for compliance with the necessary provisions and supporting regulations of the New York Labor Law. When the DOL comes knocking on your door, you need the skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel of a NYC DOL Investigation lawyer.
What the Wage and Hour Division Investigates
The WHD investigates varied businesses for several reasons but the foundation of the investigation is to make sure that employers comply with the rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Wage and Hour Division does not always announce their investigation or their arrival, nor are they required to disclose the purpose of the investigation.
The subject of their investigations can involve topics that include the following:
- Anonymous complaints to the department
- Child labor compliance
- Minimum wage violations
- Discrimination violations
- Wage discrepancies and more
