Find official workplace help
Free next steps for U.S. workers and small employers. This is a curated directory, not AI advice, a complaint service or a decision about your eligibility.
Immediate danger or serious injury? Contact local emergency services and seek urgent medical help. Do not wait for an AI answer. Filing deadlines can be short and vary: contact the responsible agency or a qualified adviser promptly. This tool does not calculate deadlines.
Nationwide starting points: use the linked agency’s own state or local-office directory. We do not provide a separate legal assessment for each state. If you work outside the U.S., seek your local labor authority.
All resources are shown below. Choose an issue to narrow them. No question or personal details are collected here.
For employers: use the agency guidance and ask about compliance assistance. Do not use this directory to decide discipline or take action against someone for raising concerns. For individual decisions, consult a qualified adviser.
Harassment, discrimination or related retaliation
EEOC can explain its process and which matters it handles. Start with filing guidance or contact a field office; other state or local protections may also apply.
Pay, overtime, leave or retaliation connected with these concerns
Contact the U.S. Wage and Hour Division about the federal laws it administers. For state pay or leave questions, find your state labor office below. Ask the agency which route fits; this page does not decide coverage.
Unsafe work or retaliation for reporting safety concerns
OSHA explains safety complaints and whistleblower complaints separately. Use its office directory to find federal or state-plan contacts. An injury benefit claim is a different process; see workers’ compensation below.
Work injury benefits / workers’ compensation
Use the Department of Labor directory to reach your state workers’ compensation authority. Ask about the process appropriate to your job; some workers use separate federal programs. Do not delay medical care.
Acting with coworkers or union-related concerns
Contact an NLRB regional office to ask about the matters it handles. Coverage varies; this directory does not determine whether your work is covered.
State-specific issues or not sure where to begin
Find your state labor office and ask which agency handles your concern. For affordable legal help, the LSC locator lists legal-aid providers; eligibility and employment services vary by provider.
Before you contact someone
Write down the dates, what you observed, questions you want answered and which records you already lawfully hold. The agency can tell you what it needs. Do not upload sensitive records here. Use our private facts worksheet.
