New Website to Launch January 15

"Post-it" version of WSD Website
      How did we ever manage without our website?  I can't remember. Now it is a 24/7 resource for employees and employers alike and  I suspect there are many "bookmarked" pages.  I wanted to warn folks that on January 15, a new website will be launched.  It may be frustrating at first because all your links may be broken, but the new website is much more efficient and will operate faster.  It also has a much better "search" feature so it should be easier to find those new bookmarks in the new website.
    
 All the Divisions in the Department are working to make sure the new website has all the info needed to provide a seamless transition.  At the very least the contact information will be there if you are having trouble.

Losing "Post-it" design, not substance.

     At Wage Standards, we are saying good-bye to the creative "post-it" design built by our summer help Tommy Sugiura back in 2010.  It is a fun design that has received positive comments from our clients.   The new format is following a similar structure with many of the same headlines.  "Find a law", "About Us" and "Contact Us"  will remain the same.  The information behind the "post-it" topics will be the same, just arranged a little differently.  

Second Phase

  This first phase being launched on January 15 is part of a larger plan to provide a more unified web-based approach for State business.  Phase one is a precursor to being able to provide data and information about the Division's activities in real time.  It is our intention that the changes will enhance the performance of the website and translate into more transparency and accountability.  It is a very exciting project!
