1736 Obama overtime rules overturned

A federal court declared Obama-era overtime rules invalid just in time for Labor Day. On August 31 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued an order explaining that rules implemented under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) during the last months of the Obama administration overreached the Labor Department's ability to interpret FLSA. The decision can be found here: Nev. v U.S. Dep't of Labor , No. 4.16-cv-00731-ALM, (E.D. Tex. Aug. 31, 2017) (Memo. Op. and Order) . The same court issued a preliminary injunction in November 2016 that prevented the rule from going into effect on December 1, 2016, as the Obama administration planned. The district court's final judgment likely means the rule that more than doubled the previous minimum salary requirements to exempt employees from minimum-wage and overtime requirements is permanently defeated. Josh explains how the decision affects religious organizations. For more about overtime requirements, check out these: The basics of overtime rules —with Shelley M.
