Authorizing agricultural employers to select 12 weeks a year to employ workers for up to 50 hours a week before overtime applies.
This bill allows agricultural employers to choose up to 12 weeks per year where overtime pay is not required until an employee works 50 hours. This change aims to help farmers manage labor costs during peak demand periods. The bill also clarifies that employers are not liable for overtime pay claims that arose before November 5, 2020, with an exception for dairy employees involved in a specific lawsuit.
