The Employment Standards Administration (ESA) is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor that oversees the enforcement of federal labor laws. Its primary focus is to ensure fair labor practices, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor regulations. The ESA aims to protect workers' rights and promote equitable treatment in the workplace. The ESA also provides resources and guidance for both employers and employees regarding their rights and responsibilities under labor laws. By offering educational materials and support, the ESA helps to foster a better understanding of employment standards, contributing to a more informed workforce and compliant business practices.
