HR 8660 would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to add restricted stock units (RSUs) to the types of equity compensation excluded from an employee's "regular rate" of pay used to calculate overtime. It also updates the law so the value counts as excluded when RSUs are accepted, not just when stock options are exercised. The change would take effect 90 days after enactment.
This affects employers who pay workers partly in company stock, especially RSUs, and employees who receive such compensation and also work overtime.
The bill aims to remove legal uncertainty, since RSUs weren't common in 2000 when the original stock-related overtime rules were written and so weren't explicitly addressed.
