NEW DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING OVERTIME PAY

Abstract

There have been several new developments in overtime pay within the last decade. The term “overtimepay” was born when congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 1938. All new developments in overtime revolve around this Act. Immediately after this Act was passed, reform measures were underway. The recent issues that surround overtime include: Whom is exempt from overtime pay?; If employers dock employees for partial day absences does that entitle them to overtime pay?; Can employers give compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay?; And is it time to reform the 40‐hour work week?
