Former President Donald Trump has proposed eliminating federal taxes on overtime pay as part of his campaign, raising questions among attorneys about its applicability to exempt workers and potential claims related to overtime calculations. During a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump admitted he disliked paying overtime, stating, 'I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn't say this, but I'd get other people in. I wouldn't pay.' This proposal is also a major initiative of Project 2025, which aims to allow employers to stop paying workers for overtime.
