Court Blocks Biden's Overtime Pay Expansion for Millions
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Texas has struck down a Biden administration rule that aimed to expand overtime eligibility for about four million salaried workers, including many in higher education. The rule, which would have increased the salary threshold for overtime pay, was deemed by Judge Sean D. Jordan to exceed the Department of Labor's authority. The decision resets the overtime threshold to $35,568, impacting plans to raise it to $58,656. The ruling is a setback for Biden's labor agenda, with potential appeals to follow.
