Employment Standards Administration (ESA)

The Employment Standards Administration (ESA) is a U.S. government agency that oversees and enforces labor laws aimed at protecting workers' rights. It ensures fair wages, safe working conditions, and proper treatment in the workplace. The ESA establishes minimum standards for overtime pay, child labor, and workplace safety, among other regulations. By enforcing these laws, the ESA helps maintain a fair and equitable work environment for all employees, ensuring they receive what they're entitled to and promoting compliance among employers.
