What’s Next After Court Halts Extending Overtime Pay To More Workers?

A federal judge last month issued an injunction against a new U.S. Department of Labor rule that was to extend overtime pay to an estimated 4 million American workers.

It more than doubled the bottom threshold for exempt, salaried employees (those not eligible for overtime pay) to $47,476 from $23,660.
