OVERTIME RULE CHANGES HAVE BEEN BLOCKED: NOW WHAT?
Nov 23, 2016
On Tuesday, November 22, 2016, a federal court issued a preliminary injunction against the Department of Labor’s (DOL) preventing the enforcement of the new federal overtime rules which were set to go into effect on December 1st.
What Now:
This preliminary injunction stops the overtime rule from taking effect next week to allow the court time to determine the legality of the overtime rule.
Next Steps for You
Take a timeout…for now! If you have started making changes to become compliant, stop before making any additional and possibly unnecessary changes until the court makes a final ruling. This includes any planned communications to your employees regarding these changes.
