The Workers Overtime Bill
Georgia bill would let workers keep more overtime pay
Income tax; exclude overtime compensation
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would let you keep all the money you earn from working extra hours, instead of paying state taxes on it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help people who work extra hours by letting them keep more of their hard-earned money. If it passes, your overtime pay would not be taxed by the state. This means more money in your pocket, especially for those who rely on overtime to make ends meet. The state would collect less tax money, which could impact state services. Since this bill is still new, now is a good time to tell your lawmakers what you think.
