New Overtime Rules Expand Pay Protections for Millions of Workers

The Department of Labor's updated regulations increase the salary threshold for overtime eligibility, but face legal challenges and a shifting judicial landscape.

• The new rule raises the salary threshold for overtime pay from $35,568 to $43,888, with a further increase to $58,656 in 2025.
• Approximately one million additional workers are now eligible for overtime benefits under the updated regulations.
• The Supreme Court's recent decision to overturn the Chevron Doctrine could impact the enforcement of these rules.
• A Texas judge has already blocked the new overtime rule within the state, citing concerns over regulatory overreach.
• Businesses have filed multiple lawsuits challenging the legitimacy of the new overtime protections.
