Pretty soon, Donald Trump may get to decide whether 4 million workers will get extra pay when they work long hours. Earlier this year, President Barack Obama reformed our country’s overtime rules to make them more generous to workers. Under the old rules, you had to earn less than $23,660 to be certain you were entitled to overtime pay. Because of the changes, the White House estimates that 4.2 million additional workers will be covered by the overtime rules, making this a monumental labor reform. But as the overtime rule shows, potential conflicts may arise anywhere Trump is helping to set employment policy.
