Federal Judge Blocks the U.S. Department of Labor’s Overtime Exempt Salary Increase Rule on a National Scale

On Nov. 15, 2024, a federal judge in Texas invalidated the United States Department of Labor’s rule that raised the minimum salary levels under the Fair Labor Standards Act “white collar” exemptions. As a result, the minimum salary levels that were in place prior to July 1, 2024, now apply again effective immediately.
