OVERTIME UPDATE: On April 29, we sent our subscribers an E-Mail Alert on the Department of Labor’s proposed revisions to its overtime regulations. On May 4, the U.S. Senate voted, by a majority of 52-47 to block the new regulations, pending further negotiations. Opponents in the Senate, asserting that millions of workers will lose their eligibility for extra wages, seek to revise the regulations to preserve overtime pay for any category of work now qualified to receive it under the existing regulations (which have not been substantially revised in more than 50 years). The DOL’s regulations do not require Congressional approval, but this latest effort may cause additional changes and delays. Implementation is currently scheduled for late August. We will keep you posted.
