President Trump's recent tax bill, touting exemptions for overtime and tips, seems to support hardworking Americans yet has hidden implications. The Trump administration paused important appeals regarding overtime pay, which affects millions. This effectively cancels out stricter overtime protections previously established under the Biden administration that would have raised salary thresholds for eligibility. Critics highlight the contradiction: while promoting no taxes on overtime, it simultaneously restricts the number of workers eligible to earn overtime pay, raising questions about the true beneficiary of these measures.
The Trump administration's tax cuts exempting overtime and tips have received praise but have simultaneously made it harder for many workers to actually earn those overtime wages.
Biden administration Secretary of Labor Julie Su pointed out the irony of Trump's proposal, stating that it doesn't benefit workers if they aren't even eligible for overtime pay.
