The US Department of Labor (DOL) on May 15, 2026, formally rescinded its 2024 final rule, issued during the Biden Administration, which sought to increase the minimum salary thresholds for the Fair Labor Standards Act\u2019s (FLSA) executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) exemptions. This means the federal salary threshold will stay at $684 per week for the standard exemptions and $107,432 annually for the highly compensated employee exemption. These are the salary levels adopted under a final rule issued in 2019 and are currently in effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rule follows federal court decisions in Texas vacating the 2024 rule and the DOL\u2019s recent decision to withdraw its appeals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
