program would be responsible for conducting independent audits of payroll records to ensure compliance with labor laws and regulations. The main goal of this bill is to provide a more efficient and effective way to address potential violations of labor laws related to payroll. By establishing an independent program within the Department of Labor, the hope is to streamline the audit process and ensure that employers are held accountable for any violations that are discovered. Under this program, employers would have the option to voluntarily participate in an audit of their payroll records. If violations are found, the employer would have the opportunity to correct the issues and pay any back wages owed to employees. In exchange for participating in the program and correcting any violations, the employer would be granted certain protections from further legal action. Overall, the Payroll Audit Independent Determination program outlined in Bill 119 HR 2299 aims to promote compliance with labor laws, protect the rights of workers, and provide a more efficient and effective way to address payroll violations.
