The North Dakota Department of Labor and Human Rights is responsible for enforcing North Dakota labor and human rights laws and for educating the public about these laws. In addition, the department licenses employment agencies operating in the state and can verify the status of independent contractor relationships. We are here to be of assistance to all North Dakota citizens, employees, employers, those purchasing or receiving services, and those providing services.
The required state and federal posters are available on our website free of charge at nd.gov/labor/education-and-other-resources. The “ND Minimum Wage & Work Conditions Summary Poster” is an excellent resource that summarizes state law. We encourage you to consult this resource for specific questions.
