The Washington State Department of Labor & Industries’ (L&I) Employment Standards Program is hosting 20 webinars early in 2022 to help employers and workers understand Washington’s wage and hour laws.
The webinar topics include protections for isolated workers, overtime exemptions for white-collar workers, and requirements under the Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. There are also webinars available in English and Spanish that explain the new agricultural overtime law that took effect on January 1, 2022. The program also offers webinars that provide an overview of minimum wage, overtime, paid sick leave, and other workplace rights regulations.
To find the times and to register for any of these webinars, go to L&I’s Workshops & Training web page and search for the webinar by its title in the “Event Title” drop-down menu.
