Redefining overtime

The Associated Press reported yesterday that the Department of Labor is offering employers advice on how to paying overtime under new rules expected to be enacted this year. Predictably, Democrats and labor unions are not at all happy with the idea that the government is giving ideas for circumventing its own rules. To offer an extended and senseless analogy: Verbal Jazz sees this as the administration, acting as a Teacher's Assistant, giving cheat sheets to employers because it doesn't like the curriculum (i.e. the overtime law).
