Local producers, farmers, and ranchers face many challenges in complying with unique labor laws and regulations in the agriculture sector. Running a small business means wearing many hats, and sometimes the hardest part is knowing where to look for answers. Join us and the US Department of Labor's Wage & Hour Division as they share an overview of federal labor laws and explain how these laws affect local producers and their businesses.
Topics covered will include:
- Labor Regulations Wages, Hours, Benefits
- Youth Labor Regulations
- Volunteer Labor
- General Employment Regulations
- Independent Contractor Requirements
- Termination and Final Pay
- Labor Regulations and H-2A Visas
This is a great opportunity to meet with local representatives from the US Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division. They will provide helpful information about federal labor laws, explain how these laws affect local producers and their businesses, and answer questions.
The event is provided at no cost.
While you're here, feel free to grab a bite or enjoy a drink from the library's Novella Espresso Bar and Café.
