A Texas federal judge blocked the Biden administration’s rule expanding overtime pay eligibility for millions of salaried workers. The judge sided with Texas and business groups who argued the Department of Labor overstepped its authority. The rule would have increased the salary threshold for overtime exemption, impacting approximately 4 million workers initially. This ruling reverses a significant increase to the overtime pay threshold, reverting to the 2019 level. The decision echoes a similar legal challenge to an Obama-era overtime rule.
