Empowering Employer Child and Elder Care Solutions Act
This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to exclude the value of employer-provided child or dependent care services from calculations used to determine overtime pay. It directly affects employers who offer childcare benefits and their employees, as these benefits will no longer count toward an employee's regular rate of pay for overtime purposes. The key provision adds a new category to the list of non-wage benefits that employers can provide without triggering higher overtime compensation requirements. The change applies to overtime pay for workweeks beginning after the bill's enactment date.
