Exempt EAP Salary Increase Repealed
In June, we alerted you that the minimum salary threshold for exempt executive, administrative, and professional (EAP) employees in Pennsylvania would increase to $780 per week on October 3. That rule has recently been repealed by the state legislature. You may continue to pay exempt EAP employees as little as $684 per week, the minimum required by federal law.
The Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act establishes a fixed Minimum Wage and Overtime Rate for employees in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania's Overtime Rule has increased the salary threshold executive, administrative, or professional need to make in order to be exempt from overtime. The increases will be phased in with the next salary threshold increase on October 3, 2021.
Current (Started October 3, 2020): $684 per week ($35,568 annually)
October 3, 2021: $780 per week ($40,560 annually)
October 3, 2022: $875 per week, ($45,500 annually)
The salary threshold will increase every three years, starting October 3, 2023,
