Federal Judge Overturns Biden's Overtime Pay Rule
TL;DR
A federal judge in Texas has permanently blocked a Biden administration rule that would have expanded overtime pay eligibility to about 4 million more salaried workers. The rule, which was challenged by the state of Texas and various business groups, based eligibility on wages rather than job duties, raising the salary threshold for overtime pay. The judge ruled that this approach improperly disregarded the duties requirement in federal law. The Labor Department may appeal the decision, but the incoming Trump administration might not pursue the rule further.
