The Wage and Hour Division has scheduled a group of webinars targeted to Covid-19 and essential workers. Gin workers continued to work throughout the pandemic and the Wage and Hour wants to make sure you as employers as well as employees have all the information on Rights of workers and responsibilities of employers. The Entire Series can be found at this site.

The Employer oriented ones for our area are linked below. The first Webinar is scheduled for this Wednesday the 12th and the deadline to sign up is TOMORROW May 11. Please click on the link below for your area or if you aren’t covered by one of the ones below, follow the closest if you are interested.

May 12 – Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee – Employers, Employees and State and Local Gov.

May 12 -Florida – Employers, Employees and State and Local Gov.

May 13 – South Carolina – Employers, Employees and State and Local Gov.

We have no idea if these will be at all targeted toward gins but we wanted to make sure you had the opportunity to see these webinars. One thing is clear, Wage and Hour is focused on agriculture this year and will likely to be for some time. More to follow I’m sure.
