Important update from the U.S. Department of Labor: The salary threshold for white-collar exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has been raised from $35,568 to $58,656 as of Jan. 1, 2025, with an interim increase to $43,888 starting July 1, 2024. This means more hourly workers could be eligible for overtime pay. Employers now need to decide whether to increase the salaries of employees who earn above the old overtime threshold but below the new one to maintain their exempt status.

The Department of Labor recently issued a new rule that increases the requisite salary level for “white collar” executive, administrative, and professional exemptions from the Fair Labor Standard Act’s (FLSA) overtime requirements. Though the state of Texas challenged this ruling, as of July 1, it is in effect for all other employers under the FLSA. Our Labor and Employment team shared their perspective on the impacts of this ruling here: https://lnkd.in/gz7-cKQK #LaborandEmployment #LegalInsights

Friday June 28th a U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas blocked the enforcement of the DOL's new Overtime Rule This ruling applies to only the State of Texas as an employer There are other cases that have been filed, notably the by Flint Ave LLC that seeks an injunction nationwide. What does this mean - The state of Texas as an employer does not currently have to comply with the new rules All other employers still are required to comply Specifically related to the State of Texas Case; early in that same day a court ruling in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo effectively overruled the Chevron deference framework which basically sent back to federal agencies any questions of ambiguity in federal regulations for clarification. It is also argued that the DOL acted out of its jurisdiction issuing the ruling because the DOL's ruling made salary the more prominent feature in determining exemption status versus duties and EAP exemptions require the duties test to be meant Employers and business groups argue that the new ruling places more emphasis on the salary level to determine exempt status of an employee, the initial phase of the ruling could effectively make 1 million employees non exempt, bearing in mind that is if those employees employers do not raise their salary level.
