However, under Fair Labor Standards Act, an employee can have more than one employer for the work they perform. Repealing the Rule, the department ensures that more workers will receive minimum wage and overtime protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under FLSA, employers are required to pay employees at least the federal minimum wage for every hour they work and overtime compensation at not less than one-and-one-half times their regular rate of pay for every hour they work over 40 in a work week. A strong joint employer standard is critical because FLSA responsibilities and liability for worker protections do not apply to a business that does not meet the definition of employer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The final rule becomes effective Sept. 28, 2021.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">*Tanvi Singh, Editorial Assistant has reported this brief.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Department of Labor has announced a Final rule on July 29, 2021, which shall rescind an earlier rule, Joint Employer <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":121,"featured_media":250200,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-252054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreign","category-legislationupdates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>USA| Final Rule announced under Fair Labor Standards Act;
