Overtime Rules for Farm Workers: Federal Preemption of State Laws
This bill aims to standardize overtime rules for agricultural employees across the United States. If passed, state laws that require overtime pay for farm workers after less than 60 hours of work per week would be overridden by federal law. This means agricultural employees in some states might work longer hours without overtime pay if their state law was previously more restrictive.
Key points
The bill establishes federal overtime rules for agricultural employees, setting a 60-hour workweek limit before overtime is applied.
State laws that currently require overtime pay after less than 60 hours per week for farm workers would be preempted.
For agricultural employees in states with stricter regulations, this could mean longer working hours without additional overtime pay.
