JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The U.S. Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division will provide information on the new Overtime Security Rule during a free seminar Feb. 16 at the Florida State University campus in Tallahassee. The event, which is open to the public, is co-sponsored by the university, the Florida United Business Association and the Jacksonville Wage and Hour Division.

“The department has scheduled this compliance assistance session to ensure that workers understand their rights and employers know their responsibilities under the new rule,” said David Minsky, the Wage and Hour Division’s chief of staff, who will participate in the seminar.

Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao established DOL’s compliance assistance initiative in December 2002 to assist workers and employers in understanding the nation’s labor laws and how to comply with them. In addition to free seminars being held across the country, interactive tools, fact sheets and other compliance information are available on the department’s FairPay web site, accessible from www.dol.gov.

Additional information is also available from the Jacksonville Wage and Hour Division office located at 3728 Philips Highway, Suite 219; phone: (904) 232-2489.
