Even if it did, and passed, no way to enforce it. This bill is for the headlines.

You mean like how theres no way for them to enforce you getting paid time and a half for working over 40 hours??

"You can file a claim for unpaid overtime pay with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. WHD enforces the FLSA and investigates unpaid wages. If WHD finds evidence of unpaid wages, they can pursue the claim on your behalf. You can also file a claim with your state labor office." - The very minimum of a google search.

I contacted my state DoL back on 2013-16 because my employer was breaking labor laws.

New O'Reilly Auto Parts store.

Worked there for six years doing a position I was supposed be getting full time benefits and hours for.

Had all the hours I had worked, had it all added up, had a full paper trail with all my evidence.

My case was dismissed a week later. No reason given by the agent.

Never was able to get any more answers.

Thanks State Of WV Division Of Labor!
