Eastern District of Texas Invalidates DOL Salary Threshold Rule Nationwide
On November 15, 2024, a federal judge in Texas invalidated the U.S. Department of Labor’s latest attempt to raise the salary thresholds for the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) white-collar overtime exemption. Texas v. Department of Labor held that the DOL’s April 2024 rule exceeded the agency’s legal authority. The ruling vacates the rule nationwide, reverting the current salary threshold to the 2019 standard of $684 per week ($35,568 annually).
