Colorado Reworks Minimum Wage And Overtime Pay Rules

Minimum wage coverage, overtime pay and mandatory breaks will be extended to a broader array of workers in the state under a proposal released Monday from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. After holding public hearings earlier this year, the department’s Division of Labor Standards and Statistics has drafted a major revamp of the Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order. “Hundreds of thousands of workers who would not have been able to qualify for workplace protections such as overtime pay or even being paid the state minimum wage will now be eligible,” Kathy White, deputy executive director for the Colorado Fiscal Institute, said in a statement on the proposed order. The state’s current minimum wage order covers workers in four broad categories: retail and service; food and beverage; commercial support service; health and medical. But that division created gray areas and resulted in needless litigation over wage claims, labor advocates argued.

Fragments of bird flu virus genome found in pasteurized milk, FDA says
Ars Technica, Tuesday - 04/23/2024 - 09:20 PM
Enlarge / Cows being milked (credit: Getty | Edwin Remsberg) The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday announced that genetic fragments from the highly-pathogenic avian influenza virus H5N1 have been detected in the pasteurized, commercial milk supply. However, the testing completed so far—using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)—only detects the presence of viral genetic material and cannot tell whether the genetic material is from live and infectious viral particles or merely remnants of dead ones killed by the pasteurization process. Testing is now ongoing to see if viable, infectious H5N1 can be identified in milk samples. So far, the FDA still believes that the milk supply is safe.

Earnings per share and revenues both missed analyst expectations. Vehicle deliveries were at their lowest level since the third quarter of 2022.
