This Guide describes the major statutes and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) that affect businesses and workers. The Guide is designed mainly for those needing "hands-on" information to develop wage, benefit, safety and health, and nondiscrimination policies for businesses.
Statutory and regulatory changes will occur over time, which may affect the information in this Guide. For the latest information on all laws check this site periodically.
