Co-lead the Double the Wage for Overtime Act to require employers to pay double a worker's wage for every overtime hour worked over 40 hours per week.

“I’m proud to co-lead the Double the Wage for Overtime Act with Rep. Casar to both deter corporations from forcing workers into long, unsustainable hours and to ensure that hardworking Americans get the pay they deserve.”

Jayapal committed to co-leading legislation that would raise federal overtime pay from time-and-a-half to double wages for hours worked over 40 per week.

Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay.

Federal overtime law remains time-and-one-half for covered hours over 40, not double wages. This shows the underlying policy result has not been delivered as federal law as of the refresh.

H.R.1332 - Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act ... Sponsor: Rep. Takano, Mark [D-CA-39] (Introduced 03/01/2023). Latest Action: House - 03/01/2023 Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. This bill has the status Introduced. This bill shortens the standard workweek under federal law from 40 hours to 32 hours over a three-year phase in period. It also requires specified overtime pay for workdays longer than eight hours.

Jayapal supported a related overtime/workweek bill, but it was not the promised Double the Wage for Overtime Act and it stalled at introduction/referral. This is partial related effort, not delivery of the specific commitment.

Jayapal was an original cosponsor of a related overtime/workweek bill. This provides an effort badge for serious adjacent action, but not full delivery because the bill is not the double-wage-over-40-hours commitment.
