Department of Labor Overtime Rule Blocked

Submitted by Debra Rodway on Wed, 2016-11-30 10:55

The Department of Labor Overtime Rule that would have required employers to pay overtime to most salaried workers who earn less than $47,476 annually, has been blocked.  Texas U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant issued a temporary injunction blocking the Department of Labor rule, which was scheduled to take effect December 1st.

Dozens of business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and 21 state attorneys general, including Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, filed suit against the rules.  The litigation will likely continue beyond inauguration day. President-elect Trump is expected to either eliminate the new rule or make substantial revisions to ease the burden on businesses.

The new mandatory payroll true-up reports for private employers were due to Ohio BWC no later than August 15, 2016. However, because there are so many businesses that missed the deadline, the BWC has extended the deadline to September 29, 2016.

If you don’t have one, you will need to create one by simply following the directions located near the top right-hand corner of the BWC’s home page.  Here is a video provided by Ohio BWC that shows you exactly how to complete your true up report online.
