In addition to Federal regulations applicable to all employers, California established the Department of Industrial Relations ("DIR") to regulate and oversee California Labor Relations. California also established the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement ("DLSE"), an agency dedicated to enforcing minimum labor standards to guarantee that employees are protected from substandard and unlawful working conditions, and to provide protection to employers who comply with the law. The goal of the DIR and DLSE is to protect the interests of profitability for employers who comply with labor laws while also ensuring protection from hazardous conditions for employees in California. California labor relations are primarily controlled through the DLSE, which oversees and settles wage claims, leads the investigation on complaints of discrimination, and acts to enforce labor and wage laws.
