$44K and $59K FLSA Thresholds Struck Down by Texas District Court

November 18, 2024

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas has vacated and set aside the Department of Labor’s rule raising the salary threshold for exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The decision strikes down both the $44K salary threshold that took effect on July 1, 2024, and the $59K salary threshold that was set to take effect on January 1, 2025. The Department of Labor may appeal the ruling, but for now (and likely continuing under the incoming Trump administration), the raised salary thresholds are nullified.
