An act relating to overtime compensation for employees of the General Assembly

This bill would require employees of the Vermont General Assembly who are covered by the state's minimum wage laws to receive overtime pay or compensatory time for hours worked beyond 40 in a work week. Under the proposed changes, workers would be entitled to either one-and-a-half hours of additional pay or one-and-a-half hours of compensatory time for each hour worked over the 40-hour threshold. The legislation directly affects General Assembly staff who currently work overtime and are eligible for minimum wage protections. This measure establishes a specific overtime compensation structure for state legislative employees, aligning their overtime treatment with standard labor practices.
