Legal Division
The Legal
Division of the Arkansas Department of Labor handles
all legal matters on behalf of the Director, including advising
each division on such matters as the interpretation and application
of state and federal law. The staff attorneys have the responsibility
of reviewing proposed legislation and drafting administrative
regulations. They also serve as a source of information for
the public and other state agencies regarding Arkansas' labor
laws.
Individual wage claims, together with violations of state
minimum wage and overtime laws, child labor laws, and prevailing
wage laws constitute much of the litigation handled by this
division. In addition, court action may be initiated for the
enforcement of the state's safety laws and laws regulating
such operations as boilers, elevators, and private employment
agencies.
