In June 2022, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry revised the Minimum Wage Law Summary to update minimum wage standards for tipped employees and minimum wage exemptions for specified industries.

Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Law Update

Wage and Hour Exemptions

Employees may be exempt from wage and hour laws based on criteria associated with their salary, actual duties, and skills. Exempt employees neither receive overtime pay nor qualify for minimum wage. Hawaii labor law defines these exemptions based on Executive, Administrative, or Professional status. Learn more here.

Pennsylvania Labor Law Poster Update

All businesses within the State of Pennsylvania must display the new Minimum Wage Law Summary along with other state-mandated posting requirements where it is sufficiently accessible and viewable to all employees. This change has been reflected in our Pennsylvania & Federal Labor Law Poster and does require an immediate mandatory update. Failure to meet compliance requirements and display the updated poster could result in fines.

Order the Pennsylvania Labor Law Poster to immediately include this required update.
