The City of Pittsburgh — for the first time in at least five fiscal years — decreased how much it spent on overtime pay and some other kinds of payments above base salaries.
"Truth-in-budgeting has been one of my priorities the past seven years, and part of that means determining the best operating budget numbers for Public Safety and other departments, and thereby lowering overtime costs," Mayor Bill Peduto said in an April 30 statement to PublicSource.

Stayman Estates, a Napa residential care facility, will pay $225,000 in back wages to 25 employees for violating federal overtime law, the Department of Labor said.
The facility violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s overtime requirements, the department’s Wage and Hour Division found after an investigation.
Investigators found that Stayman Estates illegally misclassified caregivers as independent contractors instead of employees, allowing the company to pay workers a daily flat rate regardless of the number of hours they worked. This meant that Stayman did not pay them the required overtime if they worked more than 40 hours in a workweek.
