Bill Summary
Relative to updating overtime protections for middle class workers. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to update overtime protections for middle-class workers in the Commonwealth. It amends the existing law by striking out certain exemptions to overtime pay requirements and establishing a salary threshold below which executive, administrative, or professional employees must be paid overtime. The threshold will start at $63,000 in 2024 and increase annually based on either the minimum wage or the percentage increase in usual weekly earnings for full-time workers, whichever is higher. The bill also specifies that adjunct or non-tenure-track faculty members at colleges or universities do not qualify for the executive, administrative, or professional exemption.
