About Wage & Hour Enforcement

Data from the U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division (WHD) compliance actions. Back wages represent amounts owed to affected employees as determined by WHD investigations, covering minimum wage, overtime, and other worker protections under the Fair Labor Standards Act. "Avg/Employee" shows the mean back wages per affected worker, a measure of violation severity. Source: data.dol.gov

Every figure on PlainWorker is rendered directly from official U.S. Department of Labor OSHA and Wage & Hour Division enforcement records, no number is typed in by an editor. See our editorial standards & corrections policy, the methodology behind these numbers, or report a data error.
