AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Minimum Wage Act to incrementally increase the state minimum wage, with specific provisions for future wage increases and exemptions. The bill raises the minimum wage to $9 per hour in January 2026, $10 per hour in January 2027, and $11 per hour in January 2028. It modifies rules for student workers, allowing those under 20 years old to be paid a sub-minimum rate when working part-time (not exceeding 20 hours per week) during non-vacation periods. The bill updates overtime regulations to align with federal standards, ensuring employers calculate overtime pay consistently with Fair Labor Standards Act guidelines. Additionally, the bill expands exemptions to include minor league baseball players under collective bargaining agreements and clarifies definitions for executive, administrative, and professional employee classifications. The bill requires employers to maintain accurate records of hours worked and wages paid, post summaries of minimum wage regulations, and allow government representatives to inspect these records. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, providing employers time to adjust to the new requirements.
