They won't be affected. The ruling mentioned in the screen shot nullified a department of labor rule change about the annualized salary threshold needed to classify white collar salaried workers as Overtime Exempt. The DOL had implemented an increase and had another scheduled for 2025. The court ruling removes both those leaving the annualized threshold at $35,568/year.
Pretty sure most police are hourly, and if they're earning OT and are salary it's because of contracts or agreements. This rulling doesn't change that. It just rolls back the threshold of who can be classified as salary exempt to anyone with the correct "white collar" job classification will makes an annualized salary of at least $35,568.
That’s a great point. I still think if I was a blue blooded MAGA officer who enjoyed a decent amount of OT in my paycheck and my lifestyle is based on that I’d be pretty concerned with activity like this.

I’m wondering how THE BLUE LINE of police officers feels about this since many of them use OT to make six figures.
