Changes to federal regulations regarding the minimum wage tip credit, child labor, domestic workers and more are in the works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Department of Labor (DOL) recently submitted several draft regulations<\/a> to the White House’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a final review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that these rules are now at Step 4 of the 9-step federal regulatory process<\/a> – and that the DOL is likely to issue proposed rules within the next 100 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the time of publication, the DOL has not responded to a request for comment about the regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The title of the draft tip credit regulation, Tip Regulations Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA); Rescission of Dual Jobs<\/a><\/em>, suggests that the DOL may revisit its approach to how the tip credit is applied when an employee works for one employer in both a tipped and a non-tipped occupation, such as an employee employed both as a maintenance person and a waitperson. Last year, a federal appellate court vacated a 2021 DOL regulation known as the “80\/20 Plus 30” rule. In response, the DOL repealed the rule<\/a> and reinstated the regulatory text as it existed before the 2021 rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the title of the draft child labor regulation, Amending Child Labor Hours of Work and Hazardous Occupation Standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act<\/a><\/em>, indicates the DOL’s intent to update its approach to restrictions on the hours during which minors may work and the types of occupations in which they may work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a third draft regulation, Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service<\/em>, likely will mark the first time since 2015<\/a> that the DOL will address the classification of companionship service providers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
