Important New Update on the National Overtime Rule
On November 22, 2016, U.S. Judge Amos Mazzant in Texas issued a preliminary injunction to temporarily block the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) from implementing and enforcing its Final Overtime Rule nationally. The new overtime rule would have required employers to start paying overtime to workers earning salaries of less than $47,476 a year. As a result of the injunction, employers currently do not need to comply by the original December 1 effective date.
However, the Justice Department, on behalf of the Department of Labor, filed a notice of appeal on Thursday, December 1, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas to defend the Obama administration overtime rule.
As of right now, the future of the rule is extremely uncertain. Even if the Obama administration wins its appeal, the incoming Trump administration has already threatened to scrap the measure.
If you want to learn more about the Overtime Rule as it was originally written, we suggest that you visit the
DOL website. You can also find news about the rule at
Paychex WORX. ASCCA will work to keep you informed about any further updates.

Featured Remarkable Results Radio Podcast - Nick Modesti
Nick Modesti's start in the automotive industry was at an early age. When Nick's parents, John and Collette started the business in 1972, he spent a lot time around the shop during summers and after school. He wasn't fascinated by the cars, but by the parts that they were made from. He enjoyed taking things apart and still does. To this day, he often takes things apart just to see what's inside and to see if he can fix it. His dad had the same curiosity.
