The U.S. Department of Labor is revising its regulations to comply with a court order that vacated parts of a 2021 rule about tipped workers.

Following the court's decision, the Department is returning to regulations that were in place before these changes. This update is a technical correction and does not change any current requirements for paying tipped employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
