View Rule

On October 29, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor published a final rule (2021 Dual Jobs Rule) addressing the circumstances where employers may claim a partial credit towards their minimum wage obligations under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA or the Act) for tipped employees who perform nontipped work. The 2021 Dual Jobs Rule took effect on December 28, 2021. However, on October 29, 2024, a federal appeals court issued an order vacating portions of the Department’s 2021 Dual Jobs Rule, with the effect of reinstating the Department’s earlier regulation on the topic. In accordance with that court order, the Department issued a final rule, to rescind the regulatory text introduced by the 2021 Dual Jobs Rule and restore the regulatory text which existed prior to that rule.  This action was a technical amendment accounting for changes in the law which already occurred.
