$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.Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd Welcomes Five New Associates

To Non-Compete Agreement or to Not? That is the Question.
August 14, 2024
Update:On August 20, 2024, a federal district judge in Texas issued an order that blocks the FTC’s new non-compete rule from taking effect on September 4, 2024. The ruling, which was made in the case of Ryan LLC v. Federal Trade Commission (N.D. Tex.), applies nationwide. The judge determined that the FTC lacked authority to promulgate regulations with respect to unfair methods of competition, and that the new non-compete rule is arbitrary and capricious. The FTC has an option to appeal the ruling to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
