San Mateo County Supervisors Move to Create Office on Labor Laws, Minimum Wage Enforcement
Redwood City – The Board of Supervisors today voted 5-0 to launch a new office to educate workers and businesses about minimum wage requirements and labor protections and, in the future, to enforce local labor laws.
The new entity will be called the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement, a countywide clearinghouse for accurate and up-to-date information on laws that affect low-wage workers.
“The county’s economic health depends on industries that tend to pay low wages, including the food service industry, personal care and service industries, janitorial maintenance and healthcare support operations,” said Dave Pine, president of the Board of Supervisors.
