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.
The Internal Revenue Service has announced the 403(b) and 457(b) contribution limits have increased from $23,000 to $23,500 with new catch-up contribution amounts and age brackets.
