Department of Labor Inspections Taking Place in Okanogan County
July 13, 2009 - 4:05pm
The federal Department of Labor is conducting inspections in the Okanogan County area beginning the week of June 15.
The Farm Bureau Employer Deskbook has detailed instructions on how to prepare for this inspection, and includes the actual checklists that inspectors use. To purchase a deskbook, please contact Kim Bresler at kbresler@wsfb.com.
The Wage and Hour Inspection Instuctions and Checklists are available free of charge on our website.
The DOL staff have always been accommodating and will allow farmers the opportunity to schedule inspections as much as three weeks out, thus affording you time to prepare for the inspection. They are interested in making sure that people are complying with the laws, not necessarily in generating revenue through fines.
If you have specific questions, please contact Kim Bresler at 360-528-2916.
