Bill Summary

For legislation to update overtime protections to protect the Commonwealth's middle class workers. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to update overtime protections to better support middle-class workers in the Commonwealth. The key provisions are: 1. Striking out several exemptions from overtime pay requirements, such as for certain executive, administrative, and professional positions. 2. Increasing the salary threshold below which employees are automatically eligible for overtime pay, starting at $35,000 in 2021 and gradually increasing to $64,000 by 2024. After 2024, the threshold will be adjusted annually based on the minimum wage and changes in average weekly earnings. 3. Specifying that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty members at colleges and universities do not qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemptions and are therefore eligible for overtime pay. The goal of this bill is to expand access to overtime pay protections for middle-class workers in Massachusetts, helping to ensure they are fairly compensated for their work.
