4 sec rebecca williams is a salaried custodian-- she says she needs the money from working overtime.

Rebecca williams, salaried worker "i mean i pay my bills all at once and i have nothing left over for the rest of the month, and if i want to do something, even if i want to go to a movie, or go out to dinner i barely have enough to do that without having my mom pay for everything."

Now that a u-s district court in texas granted a preliminary injunction against the overtime rule-- its up in the air as to what will happen.

Mervin jebaraj, center for business & economic research "with the injunction yesterday it is unclear what exactly will happen, because a lot of employers have already invested money, and time and resources in setting up processes to track overtime differently."

Now, there's no set date as to when thosen overtime changes could be decided.

((erika)) " williams says she hopes the overtime changes will take effect sooner rather than later."
