CT DOL Shares Federal Compliance Tool for Addressing Wage and Leave Matters

Resolve FLSA and FMLA Violations Quickly and Avoid Litigation

The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) offers the Payroll Audit Independent Determination (PAID) program to help employers resolve potential minimum wage and overtime violations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), as well as certain potential violations under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This program allows employers to correct mistakes efficiently and ensure employees receive back wages or other remedies promptly, all while avoiding litigation.

Under PAID, employers are encouraged to conduct audits and, if they discover FLSA or FMLA violations, to self-report those violations. Employers may then work in good faith with WHD to correct their mistakes and to quickly provide 100% of the back wages due or other remedies to their affected employees.
