Overtime pay for more truck drivers
This bill would remove a federal overtime exemption for certain truck drivers and related employees. If enacted, covered employees would earn at least time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a week. This would apply to workers who were previously excluded from federal overtime under that exemption. Paychecks could rise for those who work long weeks; employers would have higher payroll costs.
