The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The collection aims to gather data on an employee's average weekly wage to determine compensation benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act. The public is invited to comment on aspects like the necessity and utility of the information collection. Comments must be submitted by January 29, 2025, through the specified online portal.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Labor wants to check if some paperwork about workers' pay is useful, so they asked for public help by January 29, 2025. Some details seem confusing, like the really low cost of $3.00, and the wrong date with 40 days in September!
