The Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor has announced a new initiative, the Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, an effort to encourage the self-reporting of wage and hour violations.
The PAID program facilitates resolution of potential violations, without litigation, and ensures employees promptly receive the wages they are owed. The intent is to expedite resolution of “inadvertent overtime and minimum wage violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act.”
