Pennsylvania Rule on Calculating Overtime Takes Effect August 5. Are You Ready?

The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry promulgated a new overtime regulation that will take effect on August 5. At first glance, the rule appears to merely prohibit the “fluctuating workweek” method of calculating overtime for salaried nonexempt employees. In fact, the rule radically changes the overtime calculations for all nonexempt employees – including those paid on an hourly basis. Pennsylvania will now be a complete outlier (even more complicated than California!) with overtime premiums exceeding three times the amount owed under the FLSA.
