DOL WHD Inspections on the Rise - Are You in Compliance? 10-11am September 12 • Register Here Free to CFLCA Members • $25 nonmembers The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (DOL WHD) has been out in the field again, increasing inspections after the end of limits imposed by COVID-19. DOL WHD is responsible for enforcing regulations related to wages, sanitation, housing, child labor, transportation and more through FLSA, MSPA, and the H-2A program- but what does this mean practically? How can ag employers face transportation violations when they aren’t contracting to transport workers? What is DOL WHD doing to prioritize addressing retaliation issues? How should employers prepare their teams to handle on site inspectors? Employers may face steep penalties for violations- ensure your business is protected and your workers are kept safe by joining us for a webinar answering these questions and more. Participants should attend live, as this webinar will NOT be recorded. Presenter Ruben Lugo - Regional AG Enforcement Coordinator, US DOL WHDInspecciones de DOL WHD en Aumento ¿Estás en Cumplimiento?

Evaluating Training Return On Investment
June 8, 2023
Every year time, money, and effort is spent training workers- but how do you know if you’re being effective or spinning your wheels? Are you just ‘checking the box’ and collecting a sign in sheet, or are your employees retaining information and applying the knowledge to be safer, better, workers? These are not just questions we ask ourselves, but Cal/OSHA too; inspectors can go beyond just verifying training records and ask workers questions to determine if your trainings were actually effective. Join us to learn about best practices for effective and efficient training methods and how to evaluate your return on investment for trainings.

Why would an employer invite Cal/OSHA, when most hope to stay out of the limelight? The employer friendly arm of Cal/OSHA can help strengthen workplace safety culture, enhance your marketability to growers, and reduce costs through free Consultation Services and the Golden Gate Recognition Program. Cal/OSHA Consultation Services is not a mole or undercover agent! They don't issue citations and are a completely separate program which does not share information with Cal/OSHA Enforcement. Join us to learn about resources available to employers, what to expect through the process, and how actively working with Consultation can benefit your workers and your business.
