'''Employer Compliance and Education Programs''' ('''ECEP''') encompass a range of initiatives led by the Office of Compliance Assistance Policy (OCAP) within the Department of Labor, designed to educate employers on federal labor laws and regulations. Employer Compliance and Education Programs provide training, outreach, and resources to help employers understand and meet federal labor standards, ensuring safe, fair, and compliant workplaces, while aiming to reduce violations, enhance worker protections, and promote voluntary compliance through education rather than solely enforcement. Notable components include OSHA’s Outreach Training Program, which has trained over 2.3 million people annually through 10- and 30-hour courses as of 2025, and WHD’s educational seminars, targeting compliance with wage, safety, and nondiscrimination laws across industries.
