On June 23rd, the Partnership to Protect Workplace Opportunity sent a letter to Chairman Chabot and Ranking Member Velázquez of the House Small Business Committee thanking them for holding a hearing entitled “Damaging Repercussions: DOL’s Overtime Rule, Small Employers, and their Employees,” and urging all the members of the Small Business Committee to cosponsor H.R. 4773, the “Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act”, which would require the Labor Department to conduct a detailed economic analysis before making dramatic changes to federal overtime pay requirements, and would prohibit any automatic increases.
