ATLANTA, Ga., Sep. 25 – AAHOA Interim President and CEO Rachel Humphrey issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Department of Labor’s issuance of the final overtime rule that makes 1.3 million American workers eligible for overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA):
“America’s hoteliers applaud the administration for updating overtime regulations to create clarity and consistency for employers and employees alike. By raising the overtime eligibility annual salary cap to a reasonable level, the administration expands the number of eligible workers while providing small business owners with an appropriate amount of time to plan for its implementation.”
