Requirement
4. The Department of Labor, and TWO labor laws
Required Often forgotten
Describe the role of the U.S. Department of Labor, then discuss TWO of FLSA, OSHA, FMLA and ERISA with your counselor.
Notes and warnings
Note. Two parts. First describe the role of the U.S. Department of Labor. Then discuss TWO of these four with your counselor: the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Any two will do; the choice changes nothing else.
