On Oct. 3, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (L&I) published its final rulemaking in the Pennsylvania Bulletin updating the decades-old regulations applicable to three classes of overtime exempt employees under the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA): executive, administrative and professional (EAP). The final rule includes, among other changes, an increase in the salary thresholds to qualify for the EAP exemptions under the PMWA. The weekly salary thresholds will rise over two years (from the current federal level under the Fair Labor Standards Act of $684 to $780 to $875) and then will be "automatically" updated in 2023.
