Who handles the Wage & Hour Laws?
The State of Alabama Department of Labor does not have any wage and hour laws other than the law pertaining to the payment of wages. Section 25-3-4 states that the department will investigate and attempt to collect on wage claims. This office attempts to collect wages for employees who have worked and have not received their pay. With regard to other wage & hour laws such as overtime, minimum wage and salaried/hourly contact the U. S. Department of Labor, Employment Standards Administration at their website www.dol.gov/esa.
