A federal judge in Texas has temporarily blocked a Biden administration rule that would have extended mandatory overtime pay to 4 million salaried U.S. workers. The U.S. District Judge Sean Jordan in Sherman, Texas, ruled that the U.S. Department of Labor's rule improperly focused on workers' wages rather than their job duties for overtime eligibility. The rule was set to take effect on Monday, and Texas has challenged it, arguing that it violates federal law by tying overtime exemptions to pay rather than duties.
