FLSA Overtime Rule Enjoined
A Texas Federal court recently issued a nationwide injunction preventing the implementation of the overtime rule issued by the Department of Labor earlier this year. The rule, which would have updated the overtime regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for the first time in nearly twelve years, would have made salaried workers earning less than $47,476 annually eligible for overtime pay. It was scheduled to take effect on December 1.
