The Wage and Hour Division has scheduled a group of webinars targeted to Covid-19 and essential workers. Gin workers continued to work throughout the pandemic and the Wage and Hour wants to make sure you as employers as well as employees have all the information on Rights of workers and responsibilities of employers. The Entire Series can be found at this site.

The Employer oriented ones for our area are linked below.  It does not look like they have seminars specifically for Oklahoma and New Mexico at this time.  The first Webinar is scheduled for tomorrow the 13th.
