A federal district court in Texas issued an order on November 15, 2024, blocking the new Department of Labor (DOL) rule increasing the salary threshold levels for white-collar overtime exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The rule was intended to increase the minimum salary thresholds that determine overtime eligibility for many workers. The revised rule would have established new salary minimum thresholds for overtime eligibility to take effect on January 1, 2025, along with automatic updates for salary minimums for overtime eligibility over future years.
QTS will continue to monitor developments on this topic and provide updated information as it occurs.
