Dear Valued Client:

On Tuesday, November 22, 2016, a federal court issued a preliminary injunction to temporarily block the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) from implementing and enforcing its Final Overtime Rule nationally, pending further order by the court.

What does this mean to you?

As a result of the ruling, employers currently do not need to comply by the original December 1 effective date.

The injunction is temporary pending further review by the court.

We have no way of knowing if or when the status of the regulations will change.

We are monitoring the situation, and we'll update you on any new developments as they become available.

If you want to learn more about the Overtime Rule as it was originally written, we suggest that you visit the DOL website. 

Contact our office if you have questions.

Sincerely,

— The Law Offices of Paul P. Cheng & Associates
