@LandedGentry@lemmy.zip points out that the OP is mistaken.
Removing tax on overtime and tips are included in the bill.

But they’re pulling the same bullshit as last time. Permanent for businesses, temporary for us.
Does it classify overtime as "more than 160 hours worked in a 4 week period", because that's the original language I saw. Can still work you to death and not pay extra.
Full time in the US is 40h though so 160h every 4 weeks is full time work and any overtime would put you above 160h over 4 weeks... Outside of that then sure your employer should pay you overtime on a daily/weekly basis and not over 4 weeks, but if it's only about taxes then whatever, it doesn't make sense to not pay taxes on it anyway.
Right, but they can abuse you for short stints of time. Compare that to something like the laws when I worked in California. Anything over 8 hours in a day was overtime, anything over 12 hours in a day was double time, and anything over 40 hours in a week was overtime. This means if they overwork you even in just one day, you're getting paid extra. With something being worded 160h in 4 weeks they can overwork you for a big event and then give you a bunch of time off and never have to pay you extra.
mm businesses where continuity is really important might love this. Hire enough people so that everyone works 12hr shifts but don’t schedule anyone enough days a month to trigger additional costs
