"The idea behind this is to get everybody on the same page so they know when the employee is actually working," Sen. Andrew Brenner, R-Powell, said.
If passed, the bill would exempt Ohio employers from paying overtime when employees travel to and from work and for "activities requiring insubstantial or insignificant periods of time beyond the employee's scheduled working hours."
A quick glance through your phone while waiting in the car for groceries isn't billable hours, Brenner said. "The idea behind this is to say look, if you are doing that on your own time and you don't have this spelled out in your contract, you're on your own."

DOL Issues COVID-19-Related Guidance Regarding Whether Overtime Payments Based on Expected Hours
Employers may need to include per diems in overtime calculations, 9th Cir. says | HR Dive
The U.S. Department of Labor mandates that employers pay certain employees overtime for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. To calculate overtime pay, the agency tells employers to give workers at least 150% of their regular rate of pay. DOL offers a seemingly simple equation to determine a worker's regular rate: divide total compensation for the workweek by total hours worked in the workweek.
But, as the 9th Circuit's opinion demonstrates, what constitutes total compensation is sometimes complicated. "Under the FLSA," says DOL , "the regular rate includes 'all remuneration for employment paid to, or on behalf of, the employee.'" But certain exceptions apply. Employers need not count, for example, gifts, vacation pay and employer contributions to benefit plans.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Revelations on How Police Salaries, Overtime Pay Tax Oakland's Budget | Post News Group

At a time when Oakland is potentially facing a significant budget shortfall because of the pandemic and community demands to 'defund' the police, the cost of just two of the city's 792 sworn officers raises questions about how city officials allocates the taxpayers' money.
