The Biden administration has unveiled a new labor rule that extends mandatory overtime pay to an estimated 4m salaried workers, going further than the previous Obama-era rule. From July 1, employers will be required to pay overtime premiums to workers who earn the equivalent of an annual salary of $43,888 when they work more than 40 hours in a week. The total will increased to $58,656 on January 1 2025. “The Department of Labor is ensuring that lower-paid salaried workers receive their hard-earned pay or get much-deserved time back with their families,” said Wage and Hour Administrator Jessica Looman. “This rule establishes clear, predictable guidance for employers on how to pay employees for overtime hours and provides more economic security to the millions of people working long hours without overtime pay.” The salary threshold will increase over time, reaching $58,656 by 2025. The new rule is expected to face legal challenges.

The new rule from President Joe Biden's administration regarding transgender students' bathroom rights has sparked a clash with state laws in Republican-controlled states. The regulation seeks to clarify Title IX, the 1972 sex discrimination law, and bars discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, at least 11 states have adopted laws that prohibit transgender girls and women from using girls' and women's bathrooms in public schools. The new rule opposes these policies, stating that sex separation becomes a violation of Title IX when it denies a transgender student access to a facility or activity consistent with their gender identity. The regulation also allows parental notification requirements and addresses the issue of pronoun restrictions. While the rules do not specifically mention sports participation, advocates believe they could apply. Lawsuits are expected to arise as conservative officials and organizations plan to challenge the new rule in court.
