Reference: See hereDairy Queen restaurateur Robert Mayfield is suing the Department of Labor over overtime rules he says would force him to cut bonuses and put managers back into hourly wage roles.
Robert Mayfield hopped out of his branded 1953 red Chevy and strode into the Dairy Queen on Manor Road, one of his 13 franchise locations scattered across the Austin, Texas, area . Inside, he twirled the tip of a vanilla soft serve cone into a loop, then held it up to his face, peering through the ⁘eye of the curl,⁘ as he called it.
And the King is taking on the federal government, accusing the Department of Labor of overstepping its authority by unilaterally raising the minimum salary employees must be paid to be exempt from overtime pay.
⁘It's a bad deal,⁘ Mayfield told Fox News Digital . ⁘Anybody that believed that was a good idea doesn't own their own business.⁘

Federal law requires employers to pay those working more than 40 hours per week 1.5 times their normal rate for the excess hours. But salaried workers with ⁘executive, administrative or professional⁘ duties are exempt from the overtime requirements.
