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 exemptions that allowed some employees to be excluded from overtime pay requirements. It also establishes a new salary threshold for the "executive, administrative or professional" exemption, which will gradually increase over the next few years, ensuring more workers are eligible for overtime pay. The bill also specifies that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty members at colleges and universities do not qualify for this exemption.
