Obama-era overtime rule is struck down, but the issue isn’t dead

Dana Kravetz was quoted in the Hotel Management article, “Obama-era overtime rule is struck down, but the issue isn’t dead,” on September 22, 2017. The article addresses the refusal of a federal court in Texas to extend overtime pay pursuant to the Obama administration’s proposed expansion of the applicable salary threshold. Mr. Kravetz commented extensively on the practical effect of the court’s ruling, suggesting that the issue remains in flux given the likelihood that a salary test more agreeable to employers will be agreed upon by the Department of Labor under President Trump.
