Per the notice below, the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) has issued guidance on using artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace.

Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) No. 2024-1, Artificial Intelligence and Automated Systems in the Workplace under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Other Federal Labor Standards

Today, the Wage and Hour Division published Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) No. 2024-1, Artificial Intelligence and Automated Systems in the Workplace under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Other Federal Labor Standards, which provides guidance regarding the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other federal labor standards as the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated technologies increase in the workplace.  AI is sometimes used by employers to track work hours and performance, and even process medical leave requests, among other functions.  The federal labor laws WHD enforces are flexible enough to cover these changing workplace practices, and protections apply regardless of technological innovation.  In all cases, employers must ensure the responsible use of AI to maintain compliance with federal labor laws.  The Wage and Hour Division is dedicated to ensuring compliance with the laws we enforce.  For additional guidance regarding this Bulletin or wage and hour laws, please visit our website or contact your local WHD office.
