Bill Summary
Relative to overtime protections for certain middle class workers. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to update overtime protections for certain middle-class workers in the Commonwealth. It amends the existing law by striking out several exemption clauses that currently allow certain employees to be classified as exempt from overtime pay requirements. It also establishes a salary threshold, starting at $35,000 in 2021 and gradually increasing to $64,000 by 2024, below which employees must be eligible for overtime pay. This salary threshold will be adjusted annually thereafter based on changes in the federal minimum wage and average weekly earnings data. The bill also clarifies that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty members at colleges and universities do not qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemption from overtime pay.
