The DOL's Final Rule for Overtime Salary Threshold is Dead in the Water
Employers can now breathe a sigh of relief. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has struck down nationwide the Department of Labor's (DOL) Final Rule for raising the minimum salary threshold for employees exempt from overtime pay, also known as "white collar overtime exemption" or "EAP exemption."

ALERT – Federal Court Blocks Overtime Rule

The court granted a nationwide preliminary injunction against the Department of Labor’s implementation of the rule, as the rule faces challenges from 21 states. More >
ALERT – DOL Issues Final Overtime Rule

New Overtime Rules May Be Here Sooner than Expected
The timeline for adoption of the Final Rule of proposed changes to the white collar overtime exemption has been hard to pin down. In early November of 2015, Solicitor of Labor M. Patricia Smith, during a panel discussion at the American Bar Association’s Labor and Employment Law Conference in Philadelphia, mentioned that the proposed changes would not be issued until late 2016, leading many to believe that they would not take effect until 2017. Later that month, the Department of Labor (“DOL”) Wage and Hour Division estimated that the rule would be published in July 2016, not quite as late as earlier implied. Then, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez stated in December in an interview with Bloomberg BNA that it seemed likely to him that the new rule would be out by spring of 2016. In February of 2016, Smith reiterated the Wage and Hour Division’s projected timeline of a July 2016 publication with an effective date 60 days later. On March 14th, 2016, the Department of Labor made the surprising move of sending its overtime rule to the White House Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”), which means that all bets are off and the rule may here sooner than predicted.
