A.8. Abstract: Compliance assistance strategies play a critical role in achieving the mission of the Wage and Hour Division (WHD) to promote and achieve compliance with labor standards to protect and enhance the welfare of the Nation’s workforce. Compliance assistance activities, services, and tools provide the regulated community with the information to help it achieve and maintain regulatory compliance. WHD seeks to clear two information collections (one for written compliance assistance tools and the other for other compliance assistance events) under the generic DOL customer satisfaction survey (1225-0059) that will provide the agency with an anecdotal method to assess the effectiveness and impact of compliance assistance tools, strategies, and activities the agency employs.
