Description

Would you ever invite the Department of Labor to audit your company—on purpose?

In this episode, Miller Johnson employment attorneys Rebecca Strauss and Sarah Willey break down the DOL's recently revived PAID (Payroll Audit Independent Determination) program. This voluntary initiative allows employers to self-report and correct wage & hour or FMLA violations—before the feds come knocking.

Tune in as we explore:

  • What the PAID program is and why it's back
  • Who qualifies to participate (and who doesn't)
  • Why "voluntary" doesn't mean "risk-free"
  • The surprising pros and cons of raising your hand to the DOL
