Business groups expect a scaled-back overtime proposal soon from Trump's Labor Department
WASHINGTON—Business groups expect the Labor Department’s forthcoming overtime proposal to be more palatable than rules sought by the prior administration, but worker advocates say it doesn’t go far enough to protect Americans when they work more than 40 hours a week.
The Labor Department is expected to release its proposed rule as soon as this month. It would set a new salary threshold, below which, in most cases, workers must be paid time-and-a-half regardless of their role in the firm.
