1 1 SENATE RESOLUTION NO.
1 2 BY WARNSTADT
1 3 A Resolution urging the United States Department of
1 4 Labor to continue overtime protection for veterans
1 5 who receive specialized military training.
1 6 WHEREAS, many veterans currently working in
1 7 professional fields are entitled to overtime
1 8 protection because they lack a specialized degree
1 9 necessary to be considered a "professional employee"
1 10 as defined under current United States Department of
1 11 Labor regulations; and
1 12 WHEREAS, proposed Department of Labor regulations
1 13 would deny overtime protection to many veterans who
1 14 have received specialized military training by
1 15 treating the military training as equivalent to a
1 16 professional degree; and
1 17 WHEREAS, veterans who lose overtime protection
1 18 would no longer be entitled to additional compensation
1 19 for the overtime hours they work and veterans who rely
1 20 on overtime pay for any significant part of their
1 21 income would suffer a reduction in their standard of
1 22 living; and
1 23 WHEREAS, even though such training has
1 24 traditionally been a recruitment incentive, the
1 25 proposed regulations could actually discourage
1 26 military recruitment because potential recruits may
1 27 expect that the training and experience acquired
1 28 through military service would make them ineligible
1 29 for overtime pay; NOW THEREFORE,
1 30 BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the Senate urges
2 1 the United States Department of Labor to continue
2 2 overtime protection for veterans who receive
2 3 specialized military training; and
2 4 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That, upon adoption, the
2 5 Secretary of the Senate shall prepare an official copy
2 6 of this Resolution and send it to the United States
2 7 Secretary of Labor.
