Policy issues often have long term widespread and pervasive
impact on businesses. Not only can new governmental policies
significantly affect the climate for business innovation and
growth, they create precedents that affect future legislation and
potentially spread across jurisdictions.
Each installment of the Policy Matters Podcast
will provide timely updates regarding potential adverse impacts on
benefits that policy changes can have on industry growth and offer
a preview of what's next in the competitive marketplace.
On this episode of the Policy Matters Podcast, Seyfarth
attorneys Scott Hecker and Ariel Fenster discuss the U.S. DOL Wage and
Hour Division's ("WHD") resource limitations, and how
those are impacting WHD priorities, like child labor law
investigations and various significant rulemakings. The low number
of investigators leads to high stress and low morale for those
remaining, and WHD workers may feel overburdened and
under-resourced. Join Scott and Ariel as they share their thoughts
on these developments, including how employers may be affected.
