On November 15, 2024, a Texas federal court invalidated the Department of Labor's 2024 rule increasing salary thresholds for overtime exemptions. This decision applies nationwide, undoing the July 2024 threshold increase to $844/week and blocking the planned January 2025 increase to $1,128/week.
If your company raised salaries to comply with the now-invalid rule, it’s important to consult legal counsel before making any changes. Employers should also remember that state-level salary thresholds, which may be higher than federal requirements, remain in effect and must be followed.
