While DOL considers comments submitted about a potential change in the tip pooling rule, the department welcomed three new executive level employees to their shop as the full Senate gave formal confirmation to three Trump appointees to the DOL. Last week, the Senate confirmed the nominations of Kate S. O’Scannlain, from Maryland, to be Solicitor for the Department of Labor, Katherine McGuire as the assistant secretary of labor for congressional and intergovernmental affairs, and lastly, Preston Rutledge as the assistant secretary of labor for the Employee Benefits Security Administration. All three of the nominees were confirmed by voice votes!
