Field Assistance Bulletins

Field Assistance Bulletins provide Wage and Hour Division (WHD) investigators and staff with guidance on enforcement positions and clarification of policies or changes in policy of WHD. These bulletins are developed under the general authority to administer the various laws enforced by WHD. They typically provide positions reflecting changes or clarifications in the administration of these laws and related regulations based upon court decisions, legislative changes and opinions of the WHD Administrator.

The Department of Labor (DOL) is providing this information as a public service. The requirements of the laws enforced by WHD are set by statutes and regulations. The Federal Register and the Code of Federal Regulations remain the official resources for regulatory information published by the DOL.
