TO: Principal Investigators, Supervisors, and Project Administrators
On November 15, a federal judge in the U.S. District for the Eastern District of Texas ruled to strike down the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime final rule. The decision rules against all components of the rule, meaning both the July 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 salary thresholds are no longer in effect nationwide. The salary threshold for Exempt (not eligible for overtime) employees under the FLSA Salary Level Test will revert to the 2019 regulations ($35,568/year or $2,964/month).
Previously, RCUH Human Resources updated the Exempt Pay Schedule in response to the July 1, 2024 increase. We have decided that the current Exempt Pay Schedule (effective July 1, 2024) will remain as is to ensure competitive pay in today’s job market. Principal Investigators with concerns and/or questions may reach out to RCUH Human Resources ([email protected]) for assistance.
