The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes minimum wage and overtime pay standards for full-time and part-time employees. The Wage and Hour Division (WHD) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) administers and enforces the FLSA.
Per the FLSA, standard, covered, non-exempt employees must be paid at a rate of at least one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for each hour worked in excess of 40 hours in a 40-hour workweek. This webpage provides tools and guides to assist employees and supervisors with monitoring and tracking overtime.
On November 15, a federal judge in the Eastern District Court of Texas ruled to strike down the Biden administration’s Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime final rule. The ruling strikes down all components of the rule, meaning both the July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 salary thresholds are no longer in effect, and the triennial automatic updates will not take place. With the decision, the salary threshold set in the 2019 regulations ($35,568 per year or $683 per week) will be the salary threshold employers should adhere to. The decision applies to all covered employers and employees under the FLSA nationwide.
