Rule Raising Salary Threshold for White Collar Overtime Exemptions Overturned

On November 15, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas overturned the DOL’s rule that raised the salary threshold for the “white collar” overtime exemption under the FLSA. As a result, the salary increase that occurred on July 1, 2024, for the FLSA’s executive, administrative, and professional exemptions is no longer in place. This also means that the increase planned on January 1, 2025, will no longer take effect. To learn more, check out Littler’s ASAP “Federal Court Strikes Down Rule Raising Salary Threshold for White Collar Overtime Exemptions.”

Navigator OT has been updated with the resulting federal salary rate, which is $684 per week, or $35,558 per year. Evaluations completed between 9:00 pm EST on June 17, 2024, and 6:30 pm EST November 18, 2024, had the July 1st salary threshold applied. If you previously completed an evaluation and would like to rerun the evaluation, you can do that by following these steps.
