The Wage and Hour Division's Southeast Region has signed an agreement with Salvador De Lara Rangel, consul general of the Mexican Consulate in Atlanta. The agreement establishes a collaborative relationship to provide Mexican nationals in Georgia with information, guidance, and access to education and training resources on protecting their wages — particularly with regards to reducing violations of the minimum wage, overtime, recordkeeping, child labor, safe housing and transportation provisions of laws enforced by WHD. Among the initiatives, which include an outreach program, will be the establishment of a new complaint referral system. "This agreement is part of the Wage and Hour Division's commitment to ensure that the public is well aware of workplace rights and responsibilities," said Oliver Peebles III, WHD regional administrator in Atlanta.
