    Our Speaker: Susan Lang has been with the US Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division for 34 years.  The Wage and Hour Division enforces the Fair Labor Standards Act, which includes the federal minimum wage, overtime and child labor provisions.  The Division also enforces the Family and Medical Leave Act, which requires covered employers to provide eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid time off to care for themselves or a qualified family member.  Susan is a Wichita State University graduate, and a life-long Kansas. She spends her time doing compliance assistance presentations as well as on site investigations of businesses to determine compliance.
