AASA Urges Department of Labor to Delay Implementation of OT Rule

AASA joined 95 other national organizations in a letter to the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division requesting that DOL stay implementation of the overtime final rule to allow for judicial review. The letter is part of AASA's ongoing advocacy around the recent DOL rule, which both increases the cap for overtime and establishes regular updates. You can read more about the specifics of the new rule here.
