What’s True
Project 2025 did indeed call for Congress to allow employers and employees to adopt its proposed model for an increased overtime period, which would indeed make it possible for employers to pay less overtime to employees …
What’s False
… but it did not explicitly state that every company should comply with this model. Further, it also suggested another model of 80 working hours across two weeks, not just 160 hours across four weeks.
