WASHINGTON - Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) has signed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to work together to promote greater awareness of the electronic and print materials available from DOL to assist construction industry employers in complying with federal labor laws.
These compliance assistance resources include DOL's Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses (elaws) Advisors, a series of Internet-based interactive tools that mimic the interaction an individual would have with a DOL employment law expert; the DOL Toll-Free Help Line (866-4-USA-DOL); and the agency's Employment Law Guide handbook.
