A federal judge in Texas has issued a nationwide injunction against the new overtime rule that would’ve impacted more than 4 million U.S. employees on Dec. 1, according to the DOL. The FLSA injunction means that the new overtime rule won’t be implemented until a final court ruling is issued, leaving employers in limbo until the legal issues are resolved in court.

District Judge Amos Mazzant issued the injunction on Nov. 22. He agreed with the 21 states and more than 50 businesses — including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce — that claim the new overtime rule is unlawful, according to Reuters.
