Department of Labor Creates an Email Inbox for Reports of Potential LCA Violations

The Department of Labor (DOL) has created an email address to receive and process all reports of potential violations of a recently published rule that aims to protect the integrity of the Permanent Labor Certification program. The final rule regarding labor certification was published on May 17, 2007.

While DOL is currently considering setting up a tol-free telephone number to intake information, currently employers, foreign nationals, U.S. workers and others may submit information on potential violations through the following email: laborcert.fraud@dol.gov.

This email address will be monitored by DOL representatives for all reports of purported noncompliance to labor certification regulations. The Employment and Training Administration will then determine the appropriate course of action for each report.
