Bill > H0570

This bill, relating to overtime pay in Vermont, proposes to amend existing law by changing the overtime pay requirements for eligible employees. Specifically, it would require employers to pay an employee one and a half times their regular wage rate for any hours worked exceeding eight hours in a single workday, and twice their regular wage rate for any hours worked exceeding twelve hours in a single workday. This is a shift from the current law, which mandates overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 hours during a workweek. The bill also designates a new section within the state's statutes to specifically address minimum wages and overtime pay, and it specifies that these changes will take effect on January 1, 2027.
