Hey Compliance Warriors!
The U.S. Department of Labor today announced that it has ended the Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program, effective immediately. PAID, launched by the Department’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) in 2018, allowed employers to self-report minimum wage and overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) without facing litigation, penalties or additional damages. The program also prohibited affected workers from taking any private action on the identified violations.
