The federal overtime provisions are contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Unless exempt, employees covered by the Act must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek at a rate not less than time and one-half their regular rates of pay. There is no limit in the Act on the number of hours employees aged 16 and older may work in any workweek. The Act does not require overtime pay for work on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest, unless overtime is worked on such days.

Hospitality attorneys across the country say many of their clients at all levels whether independent restaurants or large chains had already announced to employees plans to adjust salaries this week as a result of new Department of Labor overtime rules that were scheduled to go into effect on Dec. 1. The preliminary injunction last week put a hold on the implementation of long-expected rules by the DOL that raised the salary threshold under which workers would be eligible for overtime pay from $23,660 annually to $47,476.

Key Takeaways:

- We talk about the experience all the time. Sometimes it’s tangible and a guest will leave the restaurant and go, “God, that waiter was just amazing.
“That was a light bulb moment for me. It was the first time I saw dining as something more than just the mechanics of serving somebody a plate of food. I immediately fell in love.”

‘Plain’ rice is the perfect palette for a world of flavor
Any aromatic herb or vegetable goes a long way toward adding a bit of intrigue to a simple pot of rice. Very often, some of the same seasonings going into the main dish are great for the rice as well. I’ve found that whole spices are usually better for adding subtle flavors, while ground spices are great when we really want the rice to stand out on its own.
Key Takeaways:
“Carolina Gold rice is a cornerstone of Low Country cooking. Fans favor its stronger flavor (with nutty undertones) and more toothsome texture than other rice.”
