BREAKING NEWS: DOL Issues Two New Opinion Letters

• FLSA2020-19: Addressing whether certain travel time occurring on a partial telework day is compensable under the FLSA.
• FLSA2020-20: Addressing whether certain overtime payments based on an expected number of hours worked may be credited towards the amount of overtime pay owed under the FLSA and whether such overtime payments are excludable from the regular rate.

The public can search for existing opinion letters by keyword, year, topic, and a variety of other filters on the Department’s website. The Department also encourages the public to submit requests for opinion letters to WHD to obtain an opinion or determine whether existing guidance already addresses their questions. The Division exercises its discretion in determining whether and how it will respond to each request.
