For example, the WHD offers employers (1) a complete library of free, downloadable workplace posters; (2) forms; (3) fact sheets; and (4) compliance assistance.

The program's primary objectives are (1) to resolve such claims expeditiously and without litigation; (2) to improve employers' compliance with overtime and minimum wage obligations; and (3) to ensure that more employees receive the back wages they are owed—faster.
