Labor Overtime Law Upsets LaHood

Central Illinois Congressman Darin LaHood is expressing concern about a new Department of Labor rule regarding overtime.

 

The rule, which is being reviewed by the White House this week, says anyone who is salaried earning up to $50,440 annually is eligible for overtime pay, although that number could change. The current threshold is $23,660.

 

LaHood says he’s getting complaints from many small and medium-sized businesses.

 

 

LaHood says businesses in Illinois are under enough stress with the fiscal climate of the state as it is.

 

 

LaHood adds the rule will affect non-profit groups.
