Establishes a Department of Labor program that lets employers who voluntarily find and correct their own unintentional minimum wage and overtime violations settle back pay with affected workers, with workers free to accept or decline the settlement.

• Requires the Wage and Hour Administrator to make compliance assistance resources available to employers within 30 days of enactment.
• Directs the Administrator to approve a qualifying employer's self-audit application within 30 days and supervise settlement payments to affected employees.
• Bars the Administrator from using application information against the employer in an investigation, from charging a fee, and from expanding the scope of violations beyond those the employer identified.
• Allows an affected employee to accept a settlement, which waives the right to sue for the covered back wages and liquidated damages, or to decline it and keep the right to sue.
• Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to bar retaliation against employees who accept or decline a program settlement.

• Education and Workforce Committee (House)
