FairPay: Overtime Security for the 21st Century WorkforceWelcome to the FairPay Web site. It's designed to help you understand the Department's new FairPay rules that strengthen overtime protections.

Under the new FairPay rules, workers earning less than $23,660 per year — or $455 per week — are guaranteed overtime protection. This will strengthen overtime rights for 6.7 million American workers, including 1.3 million low-wage workers who were denied overtime under the old rules.
