As Congress reconvenes, a new study suggests that overtime pay rules are a significant concern for voters ahead of the 2024 election. A recent Navigator Research poll revealed that 84% of registered voters believe that “allowing employers to stop paying hourly workers overtime” would harm the country. The proposed changes under Project 2025 could limit overtime eligibility for teleworkers and allow employers to set longer calculation periods, potentially reducing overtime pay. Meanwhile, the Biden administration aims to expand overtime eligibility for 4m workers. With federal courts reviewing challenges to both Biden and Trump-era overtime rules, the future of these regulations remains uncertain. Lawmakers are also addressing other labor issues, including the reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act and paid leave legislation, as they prepare for the upcoming elections.
