“Retailers are relieved with the Court’s decision to block the DOL’s final overtime rule, which was an overzealous and unreasonable approach from the start that ignored the realities of today’s economy and the law.”
“RILA has long argued the DOL’s approach to overtime policy would create uncertainty for employers. The Court recognized rightly that the rule was legally dubious and ultimately created an unworkable standard.
“Retailers will remain advocates for workforce policy that fosters commonsense flexibility and job growth that we know today’s workforce desires. We look forward to collaborating with the Department in the future to craft a more practical proposal.”
RILA submitted comments to the Department of Labor in November 2023 outlining the industry’s full concerns with the proposed rules. See full comments here.
