The Obama administration had proposed a more aggressive threshold, mandating overtime pay to those earning less than about $47,000 annually, but that plan was thwarted by a court challenge brought by more than a dozen Republican states and has never taken effect. The Obama administration plan would have made overtime pay available to more than 4 million additional workers, while the Trump administration estimates its plan would affect 1.1 million workers. The rule proposed by the Obama administration was invalidated by a Texas judge weeks before it was scheduled to go into effect.
