The Acting Secretary of Labor, Vince Micone, issued an order directing all Department of Labor employees to stop all investigative and enforcement activities related to the now-rescinded Executive Order 11246. This order affects ongoing actions and shifts the department’s focus away from previous directives.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
From a tech innovation perspective, this shift in policy could have significant ramifications on compliance-related software used by companies to adhere to labor regulations. The halt could lead to confusion and a potential increase in non-compliance risks. Companies relying on tech to ensure compliance may need to revisit their strategies and seek alternative solutions to stay updated with the fluctuating regulatory landscape.
