DOL Reorganizes the Employment Standards Administration

Department of Labor Notice: New Structure Strengthens Employment Standard

On Nov. 8 Secretary Solis made an important step forward in reinvigorating the Department by restructuring the four Employment Standards Administration (ESA) component programs – the Wage and Hour Division, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs and the Office of Labor Management Standards – as stand-alone agencies reporting directly to her office. The reorganization will improve efficiency by streamlining operations, increasing accountability, heightening enforcement of worker protection laws and benefit payment programs, and enhancing responsiveness to the public.
