Statement from the U.S. Department of Labor on the
Overtime Security Rules Still In Effect
WASHINGTON - Alfred B. Robinson, Jr., Acting Administrator for
the Wage and Hour Division, the agency entrusted to enforce the overtime
regulations in the U.S. Department of Labor, released the following statement
today on the Department's Overtime Security Rules.
"The Department's new Overtime Security rules remain in effect, despite
congressional efforts to prevent funding for enforcement efforts. These rules
guarantee and strengthen overtime protections for millions of workers including
workers earning less than $23,660 annually, police, fire fighters, other first
responders, hourly workers, blue collar workers, and workers under a collective
bargaining agreement. We will continue to ensure that overtime protections
remain in place so that workers know their rights and employers know their
responsibilities."
