This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis LLP explains a recent change to the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act that allows employers in the healthcare industry to use the "8/80" overtime rule established by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). This amendment allows healthcare employers to pay employees overtime for hours worked in excess of 8 hours per day or 80 hours in a 14-day period. As with the FLSA, the amendment requires that the employer and employee reach an agreement or understanding as to this method of compensation before performance of the work.
