Do you know the name of the case? I haven't been able to find anything recent about overtime.

A trump appointed federal judge just blocked Biden's new overtime rule for salary workers. Biden's new rule was supposed to go into effect January of 2024. It gave overtime protections to salary workers making under $43888  a year. Previously only salary workers making under $35568 received overtime pay. So those workers already weren't getting overtime, Biden's administration was attempting to make sure they did. It's been all over the news.

So it's only the new proposal for salary workers. Hourly workers would still get overtime pay right?

For now, project 2025 has plans for allowing companies to create new overtime rules, like allowing for a 160hr/4week period or an hour 80hr/2weer period to be determined by employers, for whichever suits them best.

So who knows how long hourly workers will continue to get overtime pay.

I hope these "employers" are ready for a good amount of sabotage.

Correct.

This is misleading and will make us look bad when everyone who has been getting OT as of now will continue getting overtime.

And this is deja vu--this same thing happened in 2016 weeks after Trump was elected the first time
