Millions more workers would be entitled to overtime pay under a proposed Biden administration rule

The Biden administration is proposing a new rule that would make 3.6 million more U.S. workers eligible for overtime pay, reviving an Obama-era policy effort that was ultimately scuttled in court NEW YORK -- The Biden administration will propose a new rule Wednesday that would make 3.6 million more U.S. workers eligible for overtime pay, reviving an Obama-era policy effort that was ultimately scuttled in court. The new rule, shared with The Associated Press ahead of the announcement, would require employers to pay overtime to so-called white collar workers who make less than $55,000 a year. That's up from the current threshold of $35,568 which has been in place since 2019 when Trump administration raised it from $23,660. In another significant change, the rule propose s automatic increases to the salary level each year. Labor advocates and liberal lawmakers have long pushed a strong expansion of overtime protections, which have sharply eroded over the past decades due to wage st

Chelsea remain interested in Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun after initial talks with the Gunners, 90min understands, but are not currently prepared to meet their asking price of £50m. With Chelsea looking for a new striker to ease the load on Nicolas Jackson, an enquiry was made over Balogun, who netted 21 goals in an electric loan spell with Ligue 1's Stade Reims last season. After contact with Balogun's representatives and with Arsenal , Chelsea remain interested in a deal for the United States striker although 90min understands the Blues are not prepared to agree to the £50m asking price .

Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 2

Image
The shine of the new season begins to fade, Fantasy Football teams are left unchanged and bold title predictions are made with false confidence. The Premier League is back in full swing. The second week of the 32nd Premier League season brought fewer goals than the first (27 to 28) but five times as many red cards (five to one). Yet, those that did stay on the pitch produced some sparkling displays. Here are the best performers from gameweek 2 of the new campaign.

Alexis Mac Allister: The games Liverpool midfielder could miss with suspension

Image
Liverpool earned their first win of the 2022/23 Premier League season with victory over Bournemouth at Anfield, extending their dominant home record against the Cherries. However, in a game filled with somewhat hapless mistakes and borderline officiating calls, referee Thomas Bramall elected to dismiss Reds summer signing Alexis Mac Allister when he fouled Ryan Christie on the edge of the Bournemouth box. The Argentinian reacted with incredulity when he saw Bramall - who was taking charge of a Premier League giant for the first time in his career in just his ninth top-flight Game - produce the red card and manager Jurgen Klopp was similarly disbelieving, suggesting the incident was "lacking everything for a red card". A successful appeal would yet see former Brighton star Mac Allister reprieved, but here are the Game s he is expected to miss should Liverpool's protestations go unheard.
