More overtime pay for Delaware transportation workers

Beginning July 1, 2026, Delaware Department of Transportation employees classified as exempt gain overtime pay. They get 1.5 times their regular rate for compensable hours beyond 37.5 in a workweek. Nonexempt employees have the same overtime threshold and rate beginning July 1, 2024, as established by an earlier law. These pay rules apply even when another law or rule says otherwise.
