Court Ruling Halting Department of Labor's Overtime Rule
On Nov. 22, 2016, a federal judge is�sued a preliminary injunction halting the U.S. Department ofLabor's (DOL) controversial Overtime Rule from taking effect nationwide on Dec. 1. The action was taken by Judge Amos Manant of the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern Dis�trict ofTexas. The temporary injunction means that the rule will not go into effect until the case is resolved or the injunc�tion is lifted by the judge. As a result, the n11ing delays the Dec. 1 implementation, and currently there is no timeline for the case to move forward.
The emergency motion for a prelim�inary injunction was filed on Oct 12 by 21 states on the grounds that the DOL exceeded its authority by raising the salary threshold too much and provid�ing automatic updates to the threshold without stakeholder input. The states' case against DOL has been consolidated with another lawsuit brought by 50 busi�ness groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and National Association ofManufacturers, which raised similar objections to the rule.
"Due to the approaching effective date ofthe final rule, the court's ability to render a meaningful decision on the merits is in jeopardy," wrote Judge Mazzant. ''A preliminary injunction preserves the status quo while the court determines the department's authority to make the final rule as well as the final rule's validity:'
As part of the final rule, the salary level under which employees qualify for overtime pay would have increased from $455 per week ($23,360 annu�ally) to an estimated $913 per week ($47,476 annually). In addition, the rule would have provided for auto�matic updates to the threshold every three years without seeking public comment.
