The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor unveiled a new program, “Essential Workers Essential Protections,” that focuses on making sure employers comply with overtime and other wage requirements for workers on the frontline of battling the pandemic. Those positions include workers in grocery stores, healthcare, retail, delivery services and agriculture. The program will provide webinars and other training opportunities to learn about workers’ rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act and the Family Medical Leave Act. The DOL also encourages workers who believe that their rights are being violated to contact the Wage and Hour Division for assistance.

In a move that had numerous precursors to its ultimate implementation, the Biden administration has formally withdrawn a Trump administration rule on the definition of independent contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor announced Thursday it was withdrawing the rule that had been announced by the Trump administration s WHD in its waning days. The WHD first announced in February it was considering delaying the rule that was to go into effect in March, then delayed to May and now has withdrawn it.
Accompanying the several weeks of walking back from the Trump rule were withdrawals of various opinion letters that had used the proposed independent contractor rule as the basis. The Trump administration s WHD released guidance letters based on the proposed rule as late as just a few days before President Joe Biden took office.
