Meeting on Wage Theft Law - April 29th

Apologies for the multiple messages this week but we thought it was important for Adams Morgan businesses to know about this meeting tomorrow night. As we have mentioned here before, the Wage Theft Law that went into effect in February affects all employers in DC.

The DC Department of Employment Services (DOES) cordially invites you to attend a Business Roundtable hosted by the Office of Wage-Hour (OWH) to discuss the new Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act .This Act went into effect on February 26, 2015 and affects all employers of employees working in the District of Columbia and all employees working in the District of Columbia.

While the roundtable is designed specifically to inform and educate employers about the new Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act and its expectations, we will also share information about the District’s minimum wage increase that will take effect on July 1, 2015; the District’s living wage; and our public education campaign efforts to inform the public about all District of Columbia wage laws in order to promote and achieve compliance with labor standards that will protect and enhance the welfare of the District’s workforce.

Our goal is to provide clarification of these laws and answer any questions you may have.

The roundtable will be held on Wednesday, April 29, 2015 from 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM at the Department of Employment Services Headquarters Community Room located at 4058 Minnesota Avenue N.E., Washington, DC 20019 , immediately adjacent to the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station.

We look forward to your participation at the OWH Business Roundtable!

Sincerely,​

Office of Wage-Hour
