The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is committed to providing employers with the tools they need to operate in compliance with the variety of labor laws enforced by the WHD—including resources intended to provide employers with readily accessible, easy-to-understand information relevant to their rights and responsibilities under the law.

For example, the WHD offers employers (1) a complete library of free, downloadable workplace posters; (2) forms; (3) fact sheets; and (4) compliance assistance.

And the WHD’s Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program facilitates resolution of potential overtime and minimum wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The program's primary objectives are (1) to resolve such claims expeditiously and without litigation; (2) to improve employers' compliance with overtime and minimum wage obligations; and (3) to ensure that more employees receive the back wages they are owed—faster.

In Indiana, as in all states, employers are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which is enforced by the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). The WHD provides various resources to help employers comply with labor laws, including free workplace posters, forms, fact sheets, and compliance assistance tools. These resources are designed to help employers understand their rights and responsibilities under laws such as the FLSA, which governs minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and youth employment standards. Additionally, the WHD's Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program is available to employers in Indiana. This program encourages employers to proactively audit their payroll practices and voluntarily correct any identified violations regarding overtime and minimum wage. The PAID program aims to resolve potential wage violations quickly and without litigation, promote employer compliance, and expedite the payment of back wages to employees. It's important for employers in Indiana to utilize these resources and programs to ensure they are in full compliance with federal labor laws.
