“The
Obama
Administration’s
new
overtime
rule
will
have
swift
and
damaging
impacts
on
hard
working
American
families,
as
well
as
small
businesses,
non-profits
and
colleges
and
universities.”

Senator
Scott’s
questioning
from
last
week HERE
Last
week,
during
a
Small
Business
Committee
hearing,
Senator
Scott,
author
of
the
Protecting
Workplace
Advancement
and
Opportunity
Act,
questioned
witnesses
on
how
the
overtime
rule
will
hurt
our
nation’s
workforce
and
employers.
Earlier
today,
the
Obama
administration
published
the
final
rule that
radically
changing
who
is
eligible
for
overtime
pay.
It
more
than doubled
the
salary
threshold
for
whom
is
eligible,
which
promises
to
have
a
host
of
unintended
consequences
for
the
very
workers
they
are
trying
to
help.
Senator
Scott’s
full
statement
from
earlier
today
is
available
HERE.
