On November 19, 2024, The U.S. Department of Education’s (DOE) Office of Civil Rights (OCR) released a guidance document titled “Avoiding Discriminatory Use of AI in Education,” to help schools implement artificial intelligence (AI) tools in ways that do not discriminate against students, consistent with federal civil rights laws. Liebert Cassidy Whitmore attorneys continue to closely monitor guidance from the DOE and will provide updates to assist our clients with compliance. We are available to assist our clients in developing policies to promote responsible and ethical use of AI.

On November 15, 2024, a federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas blocked the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) recently issued salary rules under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This rule, which took effect on July 1, 2024, raised the minimum salary threshold for employees to qualify for overtime-exempt status. Had the new salary rules remained in effect, under federal law more employees would have been non-exempt and eligible for overtime pay. While this decision halts the nationwide implementation of the DOL's new salary threshold rules, it has minimal impact on California nonprofits. California wage and hour laws already require a higher salary threshold than federal law for an employee to be exempt, even under the recently blocked minimum. Generally speaking, exempt employees must earn a monthly salary equivalent to two times the state minimum wage to qualify as exempt. The minimum salary may not be prorated for part-time work.?
