Bill > HR2270

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to modify how overtime compensation is calculated by excluding child and dependent care services and payments from the rate computation. Specifically, the bill adds provisions that allow employers to provide child or dependent care services or make payments for such services without those amounts being included in the calculation of an employee's regular rate of pay for overtime purposes. This means that when determining an employee's overtime compensation, any child or dependent care benefits provided by an employer will not increase the base rate used to calculate overtime pay. The changes will apply to overtime compensation for workweeks beginning on or after the date the bill is enacted. The bill, titled the "Empowering Employer Child and Elder Care Solutions Act," aims to give employers more flexibility in offering child and dependent care benefits without increasing their overtime compensation costs, potentially making such benefits more attractive and feasible for employers to provide.
