The Kansas Department of Labor is designating March 2025 as Fraud Awareness Month, highlighting the significance of understanding worker misclassification. Misclassifying employees as independent contractors denies essential rights and protections. Employers face penalties for non-compliance. The KDOL aims to educate on legal distinctions to ensure fair labor practices and protect workers' rights.

Governor Laura Kelly announced the launch of the Kansas Department of Labor’s new online unemployment insurance system, KansasUI.gov. This upgrade, stemming from a three-year modernization project, aims to enhance user experience for claimants and employers. The system features improved accessibility, security measures, and efficient self-service options, reflecting Kansas's commitment to effective workforce support.

The preliminary report from the Kansas Department of Labor and Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates an increase in the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate to 3.2% in July, up from 3.0% in June. Total nonfarm payroll employment decreased by 1,700 jobs, with private sector jobs increasing by 3,900 and government jobs decreasing by 5,600.
