Excerpt: The Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division has announced it will no longer publish opinion letters to provide fact-specific guidance to employers and employees. According to an article by James M. Coleman and Maureen R. Knight, attorneys in the Fairfax, Virginia, office of Constangy, Brooks & Smith LLP, in the future requests for opinion letters will be responded to by providing references to statutes, regulations, interpretations and cases that are relevant to the specific request, but without an analysis of the specific facts presented, called 'administrator's interpretations.'
