Abstract: Elaws Advisors are
web-based, interactive systems that provide easy-to-understand information to
employers and employees about the laws and regulations administered by the U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL). The elaws Advisors imitate the interaction a worker
or small business person might have with a DOL employee in obtaining
information about a particular law and/or regulation. Based on responses to
questions posed by the Advisor, the user is provided with customized
information about how the law applies in the user's workplace-as though he/she
were talking with a DOL expert.
Purpose: Elaws Advisors were
developed to increase compliance with the employment laws administered by DOL.
They are an innovative set of tools, designed to save companies time and money
in complying with labor laws, leverage DOL's compliance resources, and provide
understandable, accurate information relating to employers' and workers'
workplace rights and responsibilities.
Agency Program: Elaws
Advisors were designed as part of the National Partnership for Reinventing
Government's Plain Language initiative, written in a simple and direct format
intended to increase awareness for employers and employees on DOL compliance
issues, workplace laws, rights and responsibilities.
