The Commissioner explains the staffing and process for DCWP investigations into fair workweek law violations.
- The Office of Labor Policy and Standards (OLPS) has 44 staff members assigned to handle cases.
- The number of staff assigned varies based on the complexity and size of each case.
- Investigations involve a team with attorneys, data scientists, investigators and others.
- Staff are strategically reassigned across cases to address them efficiently and move them along quickly.
