As you may have heard, a federal Judge has temporarily blocked the implementation of the new Overtime Final Rule, originally set to begin on December 1, 2016. In this case, the Judge found that the Department of Labor exceeded its authority in adding a salary test to the existing duties test when determining eligibility for overtime. Unless there is an emergency appeal, nonprofits should expect that the Rule will not go into effect as originally scheduled; however it is expected that the Department of Labor will appeal and that this appeal will be decided in the coming weeks or months.
