On Jan. 12, 2024, the House voted 206-177 in favor of a resolution providing for congressional disapproval of the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) new joint employer rule. The final rule, published on Oct. 26, 2023, rescinds a Trump administration rule and lowers the standard for an entity to be deemed a joint employer.

On Aug. 30, 2023, the Department of Labor (DOL) a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) about employer obligations related to overtime pay. The NPRM would put significant new burdens on a variety of industries, financial institutions and other businesses to offer overtime pay (time-and-a-half) to a much larger portion of their employees. The proposal is similar to a 2016 rule promulgated by the DOL under the Obama administration that was ultimately held up by a federal court in Texas.
