David Weil Nominated to Head DOL’s Wage and Hour Division

President Obama has announced his choice to serve as Administrator of the DOL’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD). The position has remained vacant for a number of years. The WHD is the DOL sub-agency that will implement many key regulatory and policy proposals in the coming year, including the imminent final companionship exemption rule that will apply the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to domestic service workers, and various worker misclassification initiatives.
