November 2024 UPDATE: DOL Overtime Rule Overturned
On November 15, 2024, a Texas federal judge struck down the U.S. Department of Labor’s expanded overtime rule that would’ve made 4 million more salaried workers eligible for overtime pay. The ruling vacates the DOL’s rule that changed the threshold at which workers qualified for overtime from $35,568 to $43,888 effective July 1 and would have raised it to $58,656 on Jan. 1, 2025. If the Labor Department appeals, they can try to get the rule reinstated, but the incoming Trump administration may opt not to. The ruling sets the overtime exemption at the 2019 threshold of $35,568.
