Project Description
Chesterbrook:
The Department of Labor
The DOL Chesterbrook area belongs to the jurisdiction of the Philadelphia DOL area office since the U.S. Department of Labor delegated certain offices to care for specific parts of the United States. While the general purpose of each office is uphold the commitment of the DOL to education and complaint investigation, every DOL office works to enhance workplaces, improve work-related benefits, protect the welfare of employees, and increase profitable employment.
Speak with a lawyer if your employee rights have been violated because a lawyer can guide you through the legal system.
What Does The Department of Labor Do?
The Department of Labor oversees the health and safety of employees within their workplaces, ensuring that employers do not exploit their employees. Since the main goal of the DOL is to educate employers and employees while also investigating complaints, the DOL created a number of boards, administrations, and agencies to support this goal. After all, overseeing these goals in a country this size takes more than one department.
In addition, the Department of Labor breaks the agencies into different specialization, creating over twenty-five administrations and boards to support employee rights. Here are a few.
- Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
- Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP)
- Employment and Training Administration (ETA)
- Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)
- Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
- Office of Labor Management Standards (OLMS)
- Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP)
What Does A DOL Office Do?
Individuals in the DOL Chesterbrook area file complaints to the DOL Philadelphia office, the hub for health and safety information and complaint investigation for Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) upholds the goals of DOL by offering on-site consultations for business and complaint investigations for employees.
Furthermore, as a resource to employees and employers alike, the DOL office provides the following help and many others.
- Offers aid in filing a DOL complaint
