The U.S. Department of Labor announced a final rule that expands overtime protections for lower-paid salaried workers by increasing the salary thresholds required to exempt a salaried bona fide executive, administrative, or professional employee from federal overtime pay requirements. While teachers and school administrators are exempt from the rule, it does raise the minimum salary threshold for non-teaching worker exemptions. Learn about the new salary thresholds for overtime and how employees with mixed teaching and non-teaching duties may be affected in this summary from NSBA’s legal team: https://lnkd.in/eT7-WWNY

The U.S. Department of Education recently released its Final Rule under Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. The rule marks a shift in policy and approach from the final rule issued in 2020 in several key ways, including expansion of the scope of discrimination based on sex to include not only discrimination based on sex stereotypes, sex characteristics, and pregnancy or related conditions, but also (for the first time) sexual orientation and gender identity. For a summary of key provisions, see this analysis by NSBA’s legal team: https://lnkd.in/eYhgZmnS
