Overtime Bill Passed Pt 3 Friday Apr 16th, 2021 With today’s Fruit Grower Report, I’m Bob Larson. Ag employers will be protected from retroactive overtime lawsuits, but a harvest season exemption to overtime was not included in the overtime bill that passed in Olympia. The Washington Farm Bureau’s Breanne Elsey says there seems to be enough support so they’ll work on it again next session … ELSEY … “We were actually surprised. There is a significant amount of Democrats, the majority party, who really felt that that was fair as well. There was a group of them who were quite supportive of the seasonality amendment.”
