AI Summary
This bill aims to update overtime protections for middle class workers in the Commonwealth. It amends the state's labor laws by striking out certain exemptions to overtime pay requirements, and establishing a minimum salary threshold below which workers would automatically qualify for overtime pay. The salary threshold will start at $43,000 in 2022 and gradually increase over time, indexed to inflation and the minimum wage. The bill also specifies that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty at colleges and universities do not qualify for the executive, administrative or professional exemptions from overtime pay.
