Bill > HRes1516

This Resolution approves specific regulations designed to implement provisions of the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) concerning the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) for House of Representatives employees. Specifically, it approves regulations issued by the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights that align with FMLA protections for covered employees under section 202 of the CAA, and regulations that clarify exemptions from minimum wage and overtime requirements under the FLSA for covered employees under section 203 of the CAA. These regulations, which are largely based on existing Department of Labor rules, define terms and outline criteria for various employee exemptions, such as executive, administrative, professional, and computer employees, ensuring that House employees receive comparable protections to those in the private sector.
