The US Department of Labor (DOL) issued major changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime rules. The first increase in the DOL Overtime Final Rule took effect on July 1, 2024. The Final Rule increases the salary threshold, determining whether employees are exempt from overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The Restaurant Law Center filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate and set aside the Final Rule.

Angelo Amador, Executive Director of the Restaurant Law Center will moderate a panel including Jordan Heiliczer, Labor and Workforce Policy Director for the National Restaurant Association, and Jim Paretti, Shareholder at Littler Mendelson P.C. Jordan will give an overview of the Final Rule and address what restaurants should be doing now. Jim is one of the lead outside attorneys in the Restaurant Law Center legal challenge and he will address the status of the litigation. There will be time for questions.
