A salaried employee in Texas can work up to 40 hours in a standard work week. If a salaried employee's workhours exceed 40, they are eligible for overtime compensation at 1.5 times their regular hourly rate. However, following the guidelines of the FLSA, exempt employees are not eligible for overtime.
A Texas federal court has struck down the 2024 Department of Labor overtime rule increasing the salary level applicable to the Federal Labor Standards Act's “white collar” exemptions both prospectively and retroactively.
Typically, for an unpaid overtime claim, an employee has up to two years to file a complaint or lawsuit. If action is not taken within two years, the court will likely deny the case. This time limit can be extended up to three years if the worker can prove that the employer knowingly went against FLSA regulations.
Overtime rules in the postseason consist of as many 15-minute periods as are necessary until there is a winner, instead of the single 10-minute overtime period in the regular season. Both teams will now get at least one possession, even if the team that has the first possession scores a touchdown.
