Many employers found themselves supporting a remote workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic as they adapted quickly to stay-at-home orders and social distancing guidelines. As employers contemplate and implement a return-to-“normal” operations, many employers are grappling with the questions of how much of their workforce should be able to continue working remotely, and for how long.

DOL Green Lights Bonuses for Employees with Fluctuating Work Schedules | Franczek P.C. - JDSupra
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has issued a final rule under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) expressly authorizing employers to offer bonuses, hazard pay, and other premiums to employees whose hours, and regular rate of pay, vary from week to week.
The final rule revises 29 CFR §778.114, which is the DOL regulation that specifies how overtime is to be computed for salaried, non-exempt employees who work a fluctuating workweek. The new rule clarifies that bonuses, premium payments, commissions, and hazard pay on top of fixed salaries are compatible with the fluctuating workweek method of compensation and that employers must include such variable compensation when calculating an employee’s regular rate for overtime purposes.

NYPD's Budget Would Be Slashed By $1.1B Under Comptroller's Plan | New York City, NY Patch
The comptroller's plan — outlined in a letter sent to Mayor Bill de Blasio on Thursday — proposes slashing the NYPD budget by $1.1 billion over four years. Stringer specifically recommends implementing a hiring freeze for the upcoming fiscal year, reducing overtime payments to uniformed officers and restricting spending on support programs such as the NYPD's vehicle and technology budgets.
Stringer's cuts would represent a 5 percent reduction of the NYPD's budget for the upcoming fiscal year, which stands in contrast to de Blasio's proposed 0.31 percent cut. Making substaintail cuts to the NYPD budget would prevent larger cuts to social services and other city agencies, Stringer wrote in his letter to the mayor.
