#WorkforceWednesday: DOL Authority Challenged: Key Rulings on Overtime and Tip Credit

This week, we take a closer look at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit’s decision to strike down the Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) tip credit rule but to uphold the agency’s authority to set a minimum salary threshold for overtime exemption.

DOL Authority Challenged: Key Rulings on Overtime and Tip Credit

The Fifth Circuit recently struck down the DOL’s tip credit rule , finding that the agency had exceeded its authority under the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, that same court later upheld the DOL’s authority to set a minimum salary threshold for overtime exemption.

Epstein Becker Green attorney Paul DeCamp , who represented the restaurant plaintiffs in the tip credit case alongside Kathleen Barrett , offers his interpretation of these significant court decisions and what they mean for employers.
