FEDERAL JUDGE TEMPORARILY BLOCKS NEW OVERTIME RULES
As we noted in previous bulletins, new Department of Labor regulations were slated to take effect on December 1, 2016. They would have nearly doubled the minimum salary required for certain employees to be exempt from the FLSA’s overtime requirements.
