This joint resolution would reject a Department of Labor rule that redefined which workers qualify as exempt from federal overtime pay requirements. The rule, issued in April 2024, updated exemptions for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employee positions, generally raising salary thresholds that determine overtime eligibility. If passed, the resolution would completely invalidate this Labor Department rule, preventing it from taking effect. The measure would affect millions of workers across the country whose overtime eligibility depends on these exemption definitions, as well as employers who would need to adjust compensation practices accordingly. The resolution was introduced by a group of Republican senators and uses Congress's authority under federal law to overturn executive branch regulations.
