Bill > HB1023

This bill amends The Minimum Wage Act of 1968 to provide detailed definitions and salary requirements for employees in executive, administrative, and professional capacities. For executive roles, the bill defines an executive as someone whose primary duty involves managing a department or enterprise, regularly directing the work of two or more employees, having hiring/firing authority or significant influence over personnel decisions, and being paid a progressively increasing weekly salary (starting at $844 in 2027 and rising to $1,128 by 2029). The bill allows up to 10% of the salary to be satisfied through nondiscretionary bonuses, incentives, and commissions. Similar definitions and salary progression are established for administrative and professional roles, with administrative positions characterized by office or non-manual work directly related to business operations and requiring discretion and independent judgment, and professional roles defined by advanced specialized knowledge or creative talent. Starting in 2030, the salary rates will be adjusted every three years based on a weighted average wage survey of Pennsylvania workers in these exempt classifications. The bill requires the Department of Labor to publish these adjusted rates and provides a process for the Minimum Wage Advisory Board to review and consult on the changes. The legislation will take effect 60 days after its passage and supersedes any inconsistent existing regulations.
