FLSA Update on Court Decision Regarding Overtime Regulations
November 21, 2024
Dear HR Professionals,
Many of you may have already heard that, on November 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated the Biden administration's proposed overtime rule. While this ruling may have struck down the salary threshold increases beginning July 1, 2024, at this time, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has not provided updated guidance or announced any changes in response to the court’s decision. As such, the current FLSA overtime regulations and salary thresholds remain in effect.
While we await further guidance from the US DOL, DHRM recommends pausing communications with potentially impacted employees regarding the changes. This will help avoid confusion and ensure that any updates shared are accurate and actionable.
In the meantime, we encourage you to continue internal analysis of positions to confirm FLSA status. Conducting this review ensures your agency will be in compliance with existing requirements and positions you to act quickly when new guidance becomes available.
We understand that many questions have already come up—and more are likely to follow. Please know DHRM is closely monitoring this evolving situation and will provide updates as they become available.
If you have any questions, please contact DHRM Compensation Team.
Thank you for your attention and commitment to navigating this complex issue.
