AUGUSTA — The Maine Department of Labor will offer sessions of its free course that educates employers and the public about regulations governing the work- place. The Laws Governing Workplace Rights classes are taught by staff of the Wage and Hour Division of the Bureau of Labor Standards.
Courses will be held Nov. 13 at the Rockland Career- Center, Nov. 14 at the Windham Town Office and Dec. 9 at the Skowhegan Career- Center.
Although the courses are free, registration is required because seating is limited.
The course covers wage and hour laws, including minimum wage, overtime, youth employment, severance pay, equal pay, leave requirements (family medical leave, family sick leave, and domestic violence) and break requirements. It addresses commonly asked employment-related questions and offers participants an opportunity to ask questions. The course also includes a discussion of employer services offered by the CareerCenters.
To register, call 207-623- 7900 or visit www.maine.gov/tools/whatsnew/ index.php?topic=Safetyworks_ Classes&v=ListAll.
