Department of Labor Seeks to Appeal Overtime Final Rule

摘要

The Department of Justice (DOJ), on behalf of the Department of Labor (DOL), filed a notice to appeal the decision of U.S. District Court Judge Amos Mazzant last August regarding the Overtime Final Rule published May 23, 2016. The Obama-era rule would have doubled the salary threshold of workers to $47,000 per year, at which time workers would be automatically entitled to overtime pay for all worked hours beyond 40 hours per week. Labor secretary Alexander Acosta had signaled the threshold should be $32,000.
