A federal district court has blocked the US Department of Labor's overtime rule - which would have raised the minimum salary for most overtime-exempt employees to $58,656 - weeks before it was supposed to take effect.
In a new opinion letter, the US Department of Labor (DOL) says business expense reimbursements must "reasonably approximate" an employee's actual expenses to be excluded from their regular rate of pay when calculating overtime.
Recent data suggest the initial minimum salary threshold could come in even higher than the US Department of Labor (DOL) has projected.
