PSHRA and Other Organizations Send Letter On Overtime Regulations

On May 25, 2023, PSHRA, along with 103 other organizations, joined the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity (PPWO) in sending a letter to Department of Labor Acting Secretary of Julie Su.   The letter urges the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division to abandon or at least postpone issuance of its announced proposed rulemaking altering the overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

As the letter notes: The Department’s Fall 2022 Regulatory Agenda targeted this May for release of a proposed rule.  Even though the COVID-19 public health emergency has been lifted, concerns with supply chain disruptions, workforce shortages, inflationary pressures, and the shifting dynamics of the American workforce persist, and any rule change now would threaten a particularly vulnerable and recovering economy.
