CIRT has joined with a diverse group of associations, businesses, and other stakeholders representing employers called “The Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity” (“PPWO” or “Partnership”) in support of the Overtime Pay Flexibility Act (H.R. 7367). The bill seeks to prohibit the Department of Labor (“DOL”) from finalizing, implementing, or enforcing its proposed rule that would change the overtime exemption standards for Executive, Administrative, and Professional by elevating the pay threshold to $55-60K regardless of location or market conditions. The propose change was published in the Federal Register on September 8, 2023.

PPWO coalition is dedicated to advocating for the interests of its members in the regulatory debate on changes to the FLSA overtime regulations. PPWO’s members believe that employees and employers alike are best served with a system that promotes maximum flexibility in structuring employee hours, employees’ career advancement opportunities, and clarity for employers when classifying employees.
