Calculating Overtime Pay, Courtesy Of The U.S. Department Of Labor

Last week, the U.S. Department of Labor rolled out a new, on-line tool as part of its elaws Advisor program. The new tool is the FLSA Overtime Calculator which, ostensibly, seeks to help employers and workers understand and calculate overtime pay. For some strange reason, I suspect that more workers than employers will use the tool, and that those workers will be consulting their friendly, neighborhood labor attorney in the very near future.
