## Summary

**Expedited consideration of multiple labor-law changes.** This House resolution sets a fast-track framework that treats committee-recommended substitutes as adopted and waives points-of-order for four bills that would alter overtime calculations, tipped-employee rules, and joint-employer tests. - Workers: One referenced bill would narrow what counts as "hours worked," which could change overtime pay calculations for some employees. Another would revise the definition of a tipped employee, affecting tip-based wage rules. - Families and caregivers: A bill in the package would exclude child and dependent care services and payments from the wage rate used to compute overtime, which could affect pay for caregivers and the employers who provide care-related payments. - Employers and contractors: One bill would clarify when two or more entities are treated as joint employers under the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act, which could change who is liable for labor obligations and contracting arrangements.
