New overtime rule may not survive expected court challenge

The Department of Labor’s new overtime rule would provide extra pay to millions of workers — but only if it survives what’s near certain to be a set of court challenges.

Under the terms of the new rule, which was finalized by the department on Tuesday, the annual salary threshold under which non-exempt workers would be eligible for overtime will go from $35,568 to $43,888 starting July 1. On Jan. 1, that threshold will increase further, to $58,656 — a 64% increase from its current level.

The salary threshold then would update every three years based on new wage data, according to the Department of Labor.
