“The Department believes that gathering public input on the questions below will greatly aid in the development of an NPRM and help us move forward with rulemaking in a timely manner,” according to the RFI.

After reviewing the history of the FLSA and the white collar exemption, a federal court judge granted the motion. The DOL appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, where the case remains pending.
