On November 21, 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued Notice 2025-69, providing guidance and clarification on the new federal income tax deductions for employee tips and certain overtime compensation taking effect in tax year 2025.
On November 15, 2024, the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas overturned the Department of Labor’s (DOL) final rule which increased the salary threshold for workers to be exempt from overtime requirements.
Auto service advisors are overtime-exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Encino Motorcars, LLC v. Navarro clarified the scope of a 2011 regulation issued by the Department of Labor that excluded service advisors from the definition of “salesman” under 29 U.S.C. §213(b)(10)(A).
