AI Summary
This bill updates overtime protections to protect the Commonwealth's middle class workers. The key provisions are:
1. It amends the existing law by removing certain exemptions from overtime pay requirements, such as for executives, administrators, and professionals earning below a set salary threshold.
2. It establishes a new overtime pay salary threshold, which will be set at $35,000 in 2021, increasing incrementally to $64,000 by 2024. After 2024, the threshold will be adjusted annually based on the minimum wage and changes in typical weekly earnings.
3. The bill also specifies that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty members at colleges and universities do not qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemption, making them eligible for overtime pay.
