Last update: 7 hours agoOvertime Rule Reversed: The U.S. Department of Labor has formally restored the pre-2024 overtime exemption salary thresholds after federal courts vacated the Biden-era changes—meaning many employers can again follow the older exemption rules that had been in place before the higher pay cutoffs.

Typhoon Relief Funding: Gov. David Apatang approved emergency poker-fee funding for Sinlaku recovery across Saipan, Tinian and Rota, while FEMA reimbursements and filings continue to move through the system. Local Community & Sports: After Sinlaku, youth and families turned out for Rotary’s New Generations Day pickleball tournament, and Rocball is set for an Oceania debut stage. Power Costs: CNMI residents are bracing for higher electricity bills as CUC’s fuel surcharge jumps amid global diesel price pressure.
