The Wage and
Workplace Standards Division has jurisdiction over
the laws and regulations governing employer-employee
relationships covering approximately 1.6 million workers and 97,000
employers in Connecticut. Among these laws are minimum
wage, overtime, wage payment, prevailing wage, and
employment of minors. Our website highlights many
of these laws and is a useful tool for employees to
become aware of their rights in the workplace and for
employers to get information about our laws to foster
compliance. The Division is a law enforcement unit using
criminal and civil remedies to ensure compliance.
Through a balanced delivery of its services, the Wage and Workplace
Standards Division meets its historic mission of promoting
prosperity and stability in the workplace. The Division ensures
employees receive the benefits due them by enforcing workplace laws
and help employers to compete in Connecticut's business environment.
We strive to meet the needs of all our customers, the first time and
every time.
