HRES 988 is a procedural resolution that allows the House of Representatives to consider five specific bills related to labor and retirement laws. It waives procedural objections and sets debate rules for bills that would amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, Fair Labor Standards Act, and National Labor Relations Act. These bills address topics including how retirement plans consider different factors, how work hours are calculated, overtime pay calculations, the definition of tipped employees, and how multiple employers are treated under labor laws.
