A home care agency in Pennsylvania failed to pay correct overtime wages to around 200 staff, the DOL said. A court ordered the company and its owner to pay $1.16 million in back wages and damages. From around April 2020, Nursing Care in Home started paying an overtime premium to some employees but not for others, the DOL said. Some employees' overtime premium was calculated incorrectly because the company didn't factor a $240 bi-weekly hazard pay bonus into their standard rate of pay, the DOL said. "The Wage and Hour Division will not tolerate the exploitation of care workers or attempts to circumvent federal overtime laws."
Gender gap in digital skills also impedes women’s access to essential public services that are digitalized, as well as digital forms of business and commerce. More specifically, in Moldova women occupy only 31% of jobs in the ICT sector and only 19% of digital professions. As a result, women get jobs with a lower level of qualification and, respectively, of remuneration in the ICT sector. In response to the COVID-19 effects, companies have shifted further to digital commerce, setting up their digital presence through online platforms/marketplaces, including own direct-to customer commerce platforms . Should you receive a solicitation for the payment of a fee, please disregard it.

"Real men wear masks," the California Democrat told CNBC's Jim Cramer on "Mad Money," in response to a question about some men shunning face coverings in public. On "Mad Money," Pelosi again pushed for aid for state and local governments so they do not have to cut essential services as they face budget shortfalls during the pandemic. The House bill would extend the provision through January.
