A series of webinars this winter from the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries will give workers and employers the opportunity to learn more about the state’s employment laws.

The sessions cover worker’s rights, white-collar overtime rules, isolated worker protections, and the Equal Pay and Opportunities Act. There also are webinars in English and Spanish to explain the agricultural overtime law.

Led by Employment Standards program staff, each webinar lasts about 45 minutes, and includes time for questions at the end.

To register for any of these sessions, go to the Workshops and Training web page and search for the webinar by its title in the “Event Title” drop-down menu.
