On April 3, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) launched the Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, a new nationwide pilot program to assist employers in expediting the resolution of inadvertent overtime and minimum wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The pilot program will be implemented for approximately six months nationwide. Following that, the WHD will evaluate the effectiveness of the program and consider different options for moving forward.
According to the DOL website, “under the PAID program, employers are encouraged to conduct audits and, if they discover overtime or minimum wage violations, to self-report those violations. Employers may then work in good faith with WHD to correct their mistakes and to quickly provide 100 percent of the back wages due to their affected employees.” To learn more about the pilot program and who can participate, click here.
On April 10 from 1 to 2 p.m. EST, DOL will offer a webinar on the new PAID program. Attendees will learn about how the program works and have the opportunity to ask questions following the presentation. Register for the DOL webinar here.
