14(c) Certificate Holders Test Online Certificate Application

The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division is seeking input from FLSA section 14(c) certificate holders as they work to develop an online application to replace their current paper-based system. Moving to a digital format will streamline the process, and make the transmission of information more convenient, efficient and secure for everyone.

They are looking for current section 14(c) certificate holders to participate in some testing of their prototype as they move forward. Your input early in the process will help them to identify where they can improve the product to ensure that their final version meets your needs. As an end-user of this product, they value your input and feedback as they develop this tool.


What will I be doing if I volunteer?
Participants will be asked to visit a prototype website, complete several short tasks, and answer questions about their experience and perceptions of the website. Essentially, they want to test how easy the application is to use.


When and where?
If you volunteer to participate, and you are selected, they will contact you to schedule one or more one hour sessions at times convenient for you. You must have a computer and an Internet connection to participate. Each session will be conducted online using video conferencing accessible through your office or home computer. No travel is required.


Interested in participating?
They are looking for eight current section 14(c) certificate holders to volunteer. If you are interested, please email [email protected] with the name of your organization, along with the name, email address, and phone number of the point of contact volunteering. Volunteers will be contacted if they are selected to participate.

Thank you for your time and interest. With your input, they look forward to providing you with a more streamlined application process.
