We’ve got resources for workers living with cancer, caregivers and cancer survivors. If you or a loved one has cancer, workplace protections including job protected leave and protection from discrimination help ensure you can prioritize the time and care needed for recovery without worrying about job security. For cancer survivors, workplace protections may help as you address challenges from lingering physical and mental impacts. https://lnkd.in/ei-zbtMP

Our Wage and Hour Division and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development have launched a joint strategic enforcement initiative to combat violations of federal and state child labor laws. Preventing violations involving children working in dangerous jobs is an urgent priority for both agencies. Officials are focused on industries with a history of non-compliance and where vulnerable workers are less likely to file complaints. This approach augments each department’s existing complaint-driven enforcement actions. Since 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor has seen an 88% increase nationwide in children employed illegally. In fiscal year 2023, federal investigators identified 955 child labor violations nationwide with 5,792 children at risk – including 502 working in hazardous occupations illegally – and assessed more than $8 million in penalties for employers found in violation. The two agencies will collaborate on investigations to address violations of child labor laws in New Jersey proactively. As part of the strategic enforcement initiative, the Wage and Hour Division and NJDOL will continue to provide outreach and education to all employers and workers about protections for young workers. Understanding federal and state child labor laws ensures that employers can prevent child labor violations and keep young workers safe as they gain valuable experience in the workplace. The department and NJDOL remain committed to working with key stakeholders to enforce business practices that ensure compliance with federal and state laws for all young workers, regardless of where they are from.
