The U.S. Department of Labor has named Bryan Jarrett, Esp. from the law firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius as acting administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, according to an internal DOL e-mail obtained by Bloomberg News. Jarrett, who practiced labor and employment law in Morgan Lewis's Orange County, California, office, will remain at the WHD as deputy administrator following the confirmation of a permanent new division head.
The move allows for a GOP-appointed official to immediately preside over the critical agency while President Donald Trump's nominee for the post, Cheryl Stanton, awaits confirmation. Stanton's committee hearing recently took place, but she is still awaiting a vote of the Committee and from the full Senate. Under the Trump administration, the agency has been run by career leadership even as significant policy shifts took place, such as a review of the Obama administration's overtime and tip-sharing rules, and the withdrawal of guidance memos issued under prior WHD chief David Weil. Mr. Jarrett arrived at the DOL on Monday.
