The U.S. House approved to delay the new overtime rule by 6 months to June 1, 2017.

What comes next? The change was scheduled to take effect Dec. 1 2016 and now many employers are scrambling to understand how to untangle the changes they've already made to adhere to the new ruling, while others were biding their time in making any changes at all.

So what should you do? If you have not made any changes to comply with the Dec. 1 deadline you don't need to do anything for now. Should the higher court rule in favor of the new overtime threshold (as described in "NEW Overtime Rules Finalized!" published on May 26, 2016) business owners will then have to take action to comply.
