February 3, 2015 Emergency Amendment

On February 3, 2015, the Washington, D.C. Council passed an emergency amendment (and sent an identical temporary amendment to Congress for congressional review) that further amends the D.C. Wage Theft Prevention Amendment Act of 2014 (Wage Theft Act). Introduced by the council chairman, this amendment makes the following changes to the pending law:

  • Employers now must keep time records for certain exempt employees (i.e., seamen, railroad employees, car salesmen, parking lot and parking garage attendants, and airport employees who voluntarily switch shifts with other employees). Previously, neither the Minimum Wage Revision Act nor the Wage Theft Act required employers to keep time records for any exempt employees.
