Take a First Step to Compliance
The US Department of Labor offers business owners the FirstStep Employment Law Advisor to track which federal employment laws administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) apply to their business or organization.
The tool details the recordkeeping and reporting requirements employers must comply with, and the posters they need to post.
The Advisor can help all employers, including non-profit organizations, private sector businesses and government agencies.
If employers already know which federal employment laws apply to them, the Advisor can quickly provide basic information about how to comply with these laws, including the requirements for recordkeeping, reporting, and posters and other notices. This information can also be printed off as a reference guide.
A Starting Point
This Advisor provides three basic starting points depending on your interests and needs:
- Each law's basic provisions as well as any related recordkeeping, reporting and notice requirements.
- Detailed explanations of each law's recordkeeping, reporting and notice requirements.
- Descriptions of DOL poster requirements and links to printable posters.
The DOL reminds employers that this resource serves as a “First Step” in assessing compliance with US labor laws; record keeping and requirement regulations; and other mandates faced by today’s business.
