Electrical Association Consulting Services

Submitted by Alex Hyatt, National Sales Manager

Thanks to the expertise of Michelle Dreier, the Electrical Association’s Director of Member Engagement and Government Affairs, members have access to expert consulting services regarding Registered Apprenticeship, Fair Labor Standards Act, Workforce Development and Prevailing Wage Compliance.

During her 23 years at MN Department of Labor and Industry, Michelle served as a Senior Labor Investigator and then as the State Program Administrative Director in the Labor Standards and Apprenticeship Division. She has resolved thousands of Fair Labor Standards Act audits and has advised contractors, subcontractors and contracting authorities on proper compliance with prevailing wage. She has worked to build countless positive and professional relationships with both state and federal government agencies.

If you are a contractor who is trying to grow your business, you’ve probably asked yourself at one point or another…

How can I find talented people to grow my workforce?
Can a registered apprenticeship program benefit me?
How do I fill out this certified payroll form?
I just received a “Demand for Records” from the DLI. Now what?

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? We can help! Give us a call to explain your situation to Michelle and get a quote for services. She will be able to quickly help your company reduce or eliminate liability with the correct guidance and minimize the risk of an audit. In the event that you have already been selected for an audit, Michelle will ensure that you are fully prepared and respond to any allegations of a violation.

Here’s what one member had to say about his experience with our consulting services:

“We were faced with an issue that was moving toward court action or placing us in violation of the Responsible Contractor Act. Michelle jumped in and resolved it with a few well-placed phone calls.” Dennis Klein, VP Operations Klein Electric
