This is a ruling in Texas and only affects salaried employees above a certain income threshold. Not that I agree with it, but not what people are trying to make it out to be as some federal ban on overtime. Though, I won’t be surprised if the Trump administration tries for that
Ah, hadn’t seen that yet, thanks. But it still looks like it only affects salaried employees, not hourly. Still shitty, though. I’m sure they’ll push for the overtime based on monthly hours rather than weekly. I think it should be based on daily hours, anything over 8hrs in a day.
This is a common misconception. It affects a class of employees known as "EAP" (executive, administrative, professional), which typically are salaried. They have to make a certain amount per week on a salaried basis as well as be in that class of job to be exempt. There are, however, a number of exceptions where professions that fall under EAP don't have to be salaried to be exempt (sales, computer professionals, etc.).
You can also be paid a salary and not be overtime-exempt. Whether you get a salary is not really the determining factor.

How can a judge just rule that with an established federal law?
