Not So Fast — A Texas Court Stops the DOL’s Final Overtime Rule

Originally published by Emily Harbison.

As we’ve blogged about before (see here), the Department of Labor published a Final Rule with an effective date of December 1, 2016, which nearly doubled the minimum salary an employee must earn to qualify for a “white collar exemption.”  However, on November 22, 2016, a Texas federal court blocked the enactment of the amendments to the federal “white collar” exemptions for executive, administrative, and professional employees that were set to go into effect this week.  Notably, the court did not halt the proposed amendments for the highly compensated employee exemption.
