Citing the importance of investing in the wellbeing of the state’s workers and their families, the Maine Small Business Coalition (MSBC), which represents thousands of business owners across the state, has endorsed legislation to guarantee more workers are paid for the full hours they work.
Amaral was among the group who spoke at a press conference last week on behalf of LD 402. The bill, which was tabled by the legislature's Labor and Housing Committee last Wednesday, would gradually raise the salary threshold for overtime eligibility to expand protections to an additional 28,000 salaried Maine workers.

Revised overtime pay rule finally takes effect - Pest Management Professional : Pest Management
The U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL's) Final Overtime Rule, which requires employers to pay certain employees overtime pay after working more than 40 hours a week, took effect Jan. 1.
Initially slated to go into effect Dec. 1, 2016, a judge in Texas prevented enactment in November 2016 by issuing a preliminary injunction stating the DOL didn't have the authority to automatically update the rule.
Previously, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA) required overtime pay for workers paid less than $23,660 per year, or $455 per week. The rule that would have taken effect in 2016 would have pushed the minimum salary for exempt employees to $47,476, or $913 per week.

BETHLEHEM – The police department received the most overtime pay of all town agencies yet again in 2019, payroll records show.
More than $500,000 of the $1.2 million the town spent on overtime when to the police. But the total represented a slight drop - about $5,000 - from what the town spent on police overtime in 2018. Employees of the next highest-earning department, the highway administration, made $117,277 in combined overtime pay.
“Overtime is something that we build into our annual budgets for most of our departments that deal with situations that are difficult to predict,” Town Supervisor David VanLuven said. “There are some things you can predict with great confidence but other things you don’t know, like what weather patterns are going to be.”
