A U.S. Federal Court in Texas just issued a ruling invalidating the Department of Labor’s (DOL) most recent final rule raising the salary threshold to determine when overtime is required.

The Court also ruled that the Department’s automatic updates to the minimum salary threshold every three years "violates the notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements of the [Administrative Procedure Act].”

Thus, currently, the minimum salary threshold is once again set to $35,568, and the threshold for highly compensated employees is set to $107,432. 

The DOL may appeal the decision, but considering there is a change in administration pending in the White House, they may abandon this rule. However, the previous Trump administration raised the overtime threshold, so some future revision isn’t unlikely.
