Labor Department’s FLSA duty analysis ‘gets it right,’ 6th Circuit says
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit has held that a key part of the Labor Department's guidance on determining overtime eligibility under the Fair Labor Standards Act still applies, despite the Supreme Court's 2023 decision ending Chevron deference. For HR teams classifying exempt and non-exempt workers, the ruling keeps the agency's duties-test analysis in place as a working reference in the Sixth Circuit.
