Average overtime pay in Japan in 2020 fell 12.1% from the previous year, the sharpest drop in 11 years, as the coronavirus pandemic forced many businesses to cut their operating hours, government data showed Tuesday.
The average stood at ¥17,352 ($165) per month, the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry said in a preliminary report that covered workplaces with at least five workers. The pace of decline was the fastest since 2009 when the global financial crisis and economic downturn caused a slide of 13.5%.
Many things are taking place:
Changing overtime rules for ag | Good Fruit Grower
While Washington state courts and lawmakers tackle some of the unanswered questions regarding an agricultural overtime ruling issued late last year, growers are bracing themselves for financial hits and risks.
Some are simply paying it. Some are not. Some are saving up just in case. And almost everyone is adjusting practices to cut down on overtime, as much as they can anyway.
"I don't have a set, one-size-fits-all piece of advice," said Sarah Wixson, an attorney at Stokes Lawrence in Yakima, which frequently represents agricultural employers.

Overworked, Underpaid, and Cutting Corners: The Crisis in Home Health Care | The New Republic
A few years ago, Stella started working as a nursing assistant at Almost Family in Chilton, Wisconsin. She liked the job at first—the hours were flexible, and she had a good connection with her patients. She would spend a few hours at each of her patients' homes, cleaning up and helping them get dressed or take baths.
When Stella moved from Chilton to Green Bay to start nursing school, she decided to keep working for the company at a new location there. But upon transferring to the new agency, she said her workload increased: She recalled that the company expanded her patient roster from two or three patients to seven or eight, and since she didn't have the use of a car, she had to shorten her visits with one patient in order to get to the next.

Senators propose bill to give employees more options to compensate overtime | WOWK 13 News
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WOWK) – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) and U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) have introduced a new bill that would give employees more flexibility when it comes to using overtime benefits.
Capito says the “Working Families Flexibility Act” would lift restrictions on private-sector workers and give them the same options regarding overtime benefits as government workers.
Congress passed the “Federal Employee Flexible and Compressed Work Schedule Act” in 1978. That bill gave federal, state and local governments the ability to give their employees the choice between overtime pay or paid time off for working overtime. The senators say the legal privilege is unfair to private-sector workers and impedes employers who want to give their employees more flexibility when balancing work and family obligations.
