The Monterey County Farm Bureau office has learned that Department of Labor is currently conducting inspections and audits in the Salinas Valley on a random basis.

The focus appears to be on the following:

• child labor law violations
• transportation of field workers
• van inspections
• payroll record keeping.

Please make your field supervisors aware of possible inspection visits. Indications are that they will be in Monterey County for two weeks or more conducting these inspections.
