State Overtime Regulation Still in Effect

State and Federal Law Comparison Chart Available

Pennsylvania employers have until August 23, 2004 before the new federal overtime standard goes into effect. Since Pennsylvania has not adopted the new regulation, employers must follow the more stringent standard (federal or state) on a case by case basis. The new overtime standard defines white collar employees exempt from federal overtime rules. If you need a federal and state overtime standard comparison chart, please click here.
