SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
of the Department of Labor (Department)
administers the Migrant and Seasonal
Agricultural Worker Protection Act
(MSPA), 29 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. MSPA
protects migrant and seasonal
agricultural workers by establishing
employment standards related to wages,
housing, transportation, disclosures,
and recordkeeping. MSPA also requires
farm labor contractors and farm labor
contractor employees to register with
the Department and to obtain special
authorization before housing workers,
using a vehicle to transport workers, or
driving such vehicles. MSPA requires
any person who owns or controls any
facility or real property that is used to
house migrant agricultural workers to
post a copy of the certificate of
occupancy at the site of the facility or
real property. The certificate attests that
a state, local, or federal agency

conducted a housing safety and health
inspection and verified that the facility
or real property meets the applicable
safety and health standards. Migrant
agricultural workers may not be housed
at any facility or real property without
such certificate of occupancy. The
original certificate must be retained by
the person who owns or controls the
facility or real property for 3 years and
made available for inspection upon the
Department’s request. The Department
makes optional form WH–520 available
for these purposes. Form WH–520 is
both an information gathering form and
a certificate of occupancy that WHD
issues when it is the federal agency
conducting the safety and health
inspection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Wage and Hour Division (WHD)
of the Department of Labor (DOL)
administers the Employee Polygraph
Protection Act of 1988 (EPPA), 29 U.S.C.
2001 et seq. The EPPA prohibits most
private employers from using any lie
detector tests either for pre-employment
screening or during employment. The
Act contains an exemption applicable to
federal, state, and local government
employers. The EPPA also contains
several limited exemptions authorizing
polygraph tests under certain
conditions, including testing (1) by the
federal government of experts,
consultants, or employees of Federal
contractors engaged in national security
intelligence or counterintelligence
functions; (2) of employees the
employer reasonably suspects of
involvement in a workplace incident
resulting in economic loss or injury to
the employer’s business; (3) of some
prospective employees of private
armored cars, security alarm and
security guard firms; and (4) of some
current and prospective employees of
certain firms authorized to manufacture,
distribute, or dispense controlled
substances. WHD may assess civil
money penalties against employers who
violate any EPPA provision. This
amount increases annually due to the
Federal Civil Penalties Inflation
Adjustment Act Improvements Act of
2015.
