Subject: overtime rule -- could be released tomorrrow

Hi All,

Flagging that the Administration's final rule on overtime pay may be released tomorrow.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2016/05/16/rule-make-more-workers-eligible-overtime/84343456/

For those that may not have been involved when the announcement happened last summer, the Congresswoman signed a letter led by Ranking Member Bobby Scott (D-VA) to the Administration, commending the proposed rule.  The letter was signed by 115 Democratic Members.

As a reminder, while the details remain pending, this is the rule that would raise the overtime threshold to around $50,000 year, such that salaried workers making under this amount would earn time-and-a-half for hours worked over forty per week.

TP, as you may recall, the Congresswoman expressed some DNC-related concerns after we signed the Scott letter.

Wanted to get this on everyone's radar in case a statement may be appropriate.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Seth
