Paul DeCamp, Member of the Firm in the Employment, Labor & Workforce Management practice, in the firm’s Washington, DC, office, was quoted in Law360 Employment Authority, in “DOL Clarifies How OT Factors into Bonus Payments,” by Irene Spezzamonte. (Read the full version – subscription required.)
Following is an excerpt:
The bonuses a worker in waste management earned were not discretionary and therefore needed to be included in overtime calculations, and a social worker didn't stop being overtime-exempt when supervisory work ceased, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division said among other guidance included in several opinion letters. …
Paul DeCamp of management-side Epstein Becker Green told Law360 on Wednesday that these two "address discrete, recurring issues."
"The conclusions seem in line with precedent and should not be controversial," DeCamp said. "Frankly, one would be hard-pressed to identify which administration issued these letters — or any of the other four issued this week — apart from the dates and signatures, which is a testament to the quality and reliability of the analysis."
