Bill > HB383

This bill amends Title 29 of the Delaware Code, specifically Section 5916, concerning pay for Department of Transportation (DOT) employees. Currently, nonexempt DOT employees, meaning those eligible for overtime pay under federal law, receive overtime at 1.5 times their regular rate after working 37.5 hours in a week, a provision effective July 1, 2024. This bill extends this overtime pay provision to exempt DOT employees, meaning those not typically eligible for overtime under federal law, also at a rate of time and a half after accruing 37.5 compensable hours in a week, with this change taking effect on July 1, 2026.
