The Department of Labor Relations, or DOL, provides protection for employees in the United States. The people of interest protected by the DOL are: job seekers, the currently employed, and retirees. Some of the policies of the Department of Labor Relations include the requirement of employers to: provide adequate working conditions for their employees, provide opportunities for advancement for all employees, compensate their employees properly, and keep employees informed about their rights. The Department of Labor Relations also represents employees for healthy working conditions, a rate of minimum wage, obtaining overtime pay, and discrimination. The Department of Labor Relations is the first stop when there is a dispute between an employer and employee. The DOL also requires employers to post information about employees' rights so that it can be seen and read easily.
