The U.S. Department of Labor’s Administrative Review Board has announced significant updates to its website aimed at increasing transparency and making it easier for the public to understand its processes and procedures.
The Administrative Review Board is responsible for issuing appellate decisions in cases related to worker protection laws. The recent website overhaul is intended to help workers more easily file, track, and process their cases. The improvements also allow the board to operate with greater transparency.
Key features of the new website include streamlined navigation, better access to research materials and guidance, and a frequently asked questions page. This FAQ section provides information on topics such as submitting new evidence, checking case status updates, and responding to motions. These changes are designed to make critical procedures clearer for all parties involved.
“A hallmark of President Trump’s Administration is ensuring that American workers and businesses have all the tools they need to comply with the law and have streamlined access to all of Department’s resources,” said Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling. “In taking these steps, we can help demystify the law and improve efficiency in the Department’s Administrative Review Board.”
“While we can't simplify these statutes, we can make it easier for workers, particularly those not represented by counsel, to understand the administrative steps they must follow in pursuing their cases before the Administrative Review Board,” said Randel Johnson, Chair and Chief Judge of the Administrative Review Board.
The public can visit the revamped website for more information about these changes.
