Trump's Project 2025 seeks to roll back overtime pay protections for workers

Former President Donald Trump’s Project 2025 proposes significant changes to overtime pay protections, allowing employers to avoid paying overtime to many workers. This plan builds on Trump's previous actions, which reduced overtime eligibility for millions during his presidency. Under Project 2025, the Biden administration's recent overtime pay expansions would be rolled back. The proposal includes allowing employers to calculate overtime over multiple weeks, potentially reducing pay for workers who currently qualify for overtime. Trump's past business practices have faced scrutiny for failing to pay overtime. His companies have been cited for multiple violations, raising concerns about the impact of his proposed changes on workers' financial security.
