Texas Court Overturns Biden's Overtime Pay Expansion

A Texas federal judge has invalidated a Biden administration rule that aimed to expand overtime eligibility to four million additional workers, citing that it exceeded the Department of Labor's authority. The decision, favoring Texas and business groups, argued the rule would increase payroll costs and reduce jobs. The rule intended to raise the salary threshold for overtime pay eligibility, but the court found it improperly prioritized salary over job duties. This ruling follows a similar 2017 decision against an Obama-era rule.
