Industry Pushes Back Against DOL Overtime Rule

On Wednesday, MHI joined its business coalition partners in sending a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor urging the agency to delay implementation of the overtime final rule pending judicial review. There are currently four legal challenges to the overtime rule, yet the July 1 effective date has not changed despite this legal uncertainty. The coalition noted that postponing the effective date would prevent a potential waste of time and resources trying to comply or implement a rule that could be invalidated by a court. A stay of the rule would protect workers whose terms and conditions of employment may be negatively impacted by the policy changes and reclassifications within the rule.

This is the second letter from the coalition that MHI has joined advocating for an extension on the deadline. The first was sent in May and highlighted the burdensome timelines the rule creates for businesses, particularly small businesses.
