This week Jose J. Rodriguez, assistant secretary of our Employment and Training Administration, visited a Philadelphia Job Corps Center and learned how the program is preparing them for careers as emergency medical technicians. He also participated in a regional summit which brought together grant recipients from across the area to hear how they’re creating opportunities for all workers to access good jobs as a part of the Biden-Harris administration’s Investing in America agenda.

U.S. Department of Labor reposted this
💸 How does your pay cycle affect the way you’re paid overtime? No matter whether you're paid weekly, biweekly, or otherwise, your overtime should be calculated based on the hours worked each workweek. If you’re paid biweekly and work 45 hours in one week and 35 in the next, you should get paid 5 hours of overtime for that first week. If you're paid semi-monthly and your pay period ends mid-week, you should still be paid overtime for any hours worked over 40 in that workweek, even if those overtime hours fall into the next pay period. Misunderstanding pay cycles can lead to mistakes in your paycheck. If you’re not sure your overtime is being calculated correctly, call the Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-487-9243 or check out our compliance assistance toolkit for restaurants: https://lnkd.in/dvde87kg. #Restaurants #Payroll #Overtime #Management
