To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to require paid rest breaks for certain construction employees, and for other purposes.

Summary

At the time of hiring, employers also must notify employees about their right to paid rest breaks and display information about such breaks at applicable work sites. Further, employers may not take retaliatory personnel actions or otherwise discriminate against employees who (1) request or take paid rest breaks, or (2) file related complaints with the Department of Labor.
