New Exempt Salary Levels Struck Down by Federal Court 11-15-24

On November 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the Department of Labor (DOL) exceeded its authority when it issued regulations that increased the minimum salary threshold for exempt employees earlier this year.   The judge’s order not only invalidates the rule nationwide, it further overturns the increase that went into effect on July 1, 2024, setting the minimum salary threshold back to the 2019 level of $35,568 per year.
