A Request for Feedback on the DOL's Proposed Regular Rate Rule
This is the fourth installment in our Regulatory Spring
series and our first request for your feedback on the DOL's
proposed rule concerning the overtime rate of pay, more formally
known as the "regular rate." We do so through a survey,
linked below, that should take no more than 5 minutes to
complete.
In our first two installments (available
here and
here), we provided an overview and asked for your feedback on the DOL's
proposed rule concerning the FLSA's overtime exemptions. Last
week, in our
third installment, we walked through the DOL's proposed rule concerning the regular
rate, through which the Department seeks to clarify the
types of perks and benefits that may be excluded from regular rate
of pay. At present, comments are due on the regular rate rule on
May 28, 2019.
As an advocate for employers across the country, Seyfarth takes seriously its opportunity to submit comments to the DOL on the regular rate rule. Of course, your feedback is crucial to our ability to provide the DOL with the most meaningful and insightful feedback possible. To that end, we invite you to take a few minutes to complete this survey.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
