Welcome 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.
|
The effective date of the regulations is August 23, 2004.
