DOL Appeals Overtime Rule Injunction

Dec. 5, 2016

The U.S. Department of Labor is appealing an injunction placed on its overtime pay rules last week by a federal judge, according to FORTUNE. The appeal seeks to lift the temporary injunction against the overtime changes that were set to take effect on Dec. 1. 

The overtime rule would up the salary threshold for overtime pay to $47,476, the source reports. Any employee making less than that amount would be eligible for overtime for working more than 40 hours per week. 

The appeals process could head into 2017, the source wrote.
