Title: Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, and Bona Fide Employee Stock Purchase Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act 
Abstract: The Worker Economic Opportunity Act, Public Law 106-202 (May 18, 2000), amended section 7(e) of the Fair Labor Standards Act to clarify how certain employer-provided stock option programs are to be treated for purposes of overtime pay. Certain programs meeting prescribed criteria would not have to be factored into the "regular rate" otherwise required when calculating "time-and-one-half" overtime premium pay for overtime hours of work. The legislation calls for regulations to be promulgated as necessary, which will include amendments to some of the existing regulations on overtime pay.
