Court Halts Biden's Overtime Pay Expansion for Millions

A federal judge in Texas has blocked a Biden administration rule intended to expand overtime pay eligibility for millions of salaried workers. The rule, which would have increased the salary cap for overtime pay from $35,568 to $58,656, was challenged by Texas and business groups who argued it exceeded the Labor Department's authority. The decision reverts the threshold to the 2019 level set under the Trump administration. The Labor Department has not yet commented on whether it will appeal the ruling.
