Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Labor announced changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act, increasing the salary threshold for exempt employees (those not eligible for overtime). A second change was expected to take effect on Jan. 1, 2025, which would have further increased the minimum salary threshold. On Friday (Nov. 15), a federal judge in the Eastern District Court of Texas struck down the additional changes to the FLSA rule. As such, the second round of changes will no longer be implemented.
