Overtime Rule Overturned: Workers Face Pay Cuts
A federal court’s overturning of the Biden administration’s overtime rule resulted in pay raises being rescinded for 306 Ohio State University employees. The rule, which would have extended overtime pay to millions of salaried workers, was deemed to exceed the Labor Department’s authority due to its high salary threshold and automatic updates. Consequently, Ohio State retracted the recently implemented raises, citing the legal reversal. This situation mirrors a similar event in 2016, highlighting the ongoing debate and legal challenges surrounding overtime regulations.
