Judge Strikes Down New FLSA Rules
Yesterday, Judge Amos Mazzant, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, struck down the Department of Labor’s proposed changes to the overtime rules that were previously set to take effect in December 2016. The proposed change would have set the minimum salary level required to qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemptions to $913 per week or $47,476 annually.
