The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is committed to providing access to all individuals who use this website. To provide this access, this website has been developed to comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended. Section 508 requires that all individuals with disabilities (whether they are federal government employees or members of the general public) have access to, and use of information and data, comparable to that provided to individuals without disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the Department.
Some of the MOUs linked from this page are PDFs of scanned signed documents. Therefore, while DOL strives to adhere to the accepted guidelines and standards for accessibility and usability, it is possible that some of these PDFs will not be accessible.
DOL is continually seeking out solutions that will bring all areas of our website up to the same level of overall accessibility. If you experience any difficulty in accessing this PDF, please contact us 1-866-4USWAGE (1-866-487-9243).
