The Department of Labor (DOL) announced this month that it will be implementing "vigorous enforcement" of workplace rights in warehouse and logistics industries, including:

• Payment of legally earned wages, including minimum and overtime
• Safety from workplace harassment and retaliation when they claim their rights
• Workers not being prevented from taking time off under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

The initiative will also target misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
