The Delaware Department of Labor is the state agency responsible for overseeing labor laws and regulations in Delaware. They provide resources and support to both employers and employees to ensure compliance with state labor standards.
When your company partners with a professional employer organization (PEO), it can enjoy many benefits, such as payroll management, human resources support, and compliance assistance. However, there may come a time when your business outgrows the need for a PEO, or you want to manage these functions in-house.
Transitioning away from PEO services is a complex process, but with careful planning, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Salary transparency laws are a relatively new phenomenon in the US—until Colorado enacted the 2021 Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, no US jurisdictions required businesses to disclose pay information to employees or the public.
Since 2021, eight additional states and multiple jurisdictions have passed similar laws. An increasing number of legislators and policy groups have also called for additional action, identifying wage secrecy as a contributor to both the gender pay gap and wage gaps affecting people of color—and citing a growing body of research showing that salary transparency can increase pay equity.
Understanding labor laws is crucial for ensuring the fair treatment of employees and avoiding legal issues. However, assuring compliance can be challenging for HR professionals, especially those managing multi-state operations.
Federal labor laws apply to every employer in the country. Still, each state (and sometimes each municipality) can have different labor laws and compliance requirements, making things more complicated.
