For the first time in 50 years, the DOL has put in place a new definition of “regular rate of pay,” (RROP) which determines how an employee's overtime pay is calculated.
Last week, the Department of Labor published a new rule regarding overtime pay that it says will encourage employers to offer employees more perks.
For the first time in 50 years, the DOL has put in place a new definition of “regular rate of pay,” (RROP) which determines how an employee's overtime pay is calculated. Workers who are eligible for overtime are required to be paid 1.5 times the RROP when they work more than 40 hours per week.
