In late 2019, Pennsylvania defected from the traditional use of the fluctuating workweek method used to calculate overtime rates for employees working fluctuating hours. Instead, in Chevalier v. General Nutrition Centers, Inc. , the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania determined that the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA) does not allow the fluctuating workweek method (FWW Method) of calculating overtime compensation to be used for salaried employees working fluctuating hours.
"Under the FWW Method, the salaried employee's 'regular rate' of pay is determined by dividing the total of the weekly salary by the number of hours actually worked that week . . . . The employer then accounts for the overtime requirement of an additional 'one-half times the regular rate' by multiplying the number of hours in excess of forty by 0.5 times the regular rate . . . the '0.5 Multiplier.

Ending joint employer rule a win for business stability
Three years into the Trump administration, we see a clear pattern forming. The Obama administration implemented labor rules that make the labor market less flexible, often at the expense of smaller businesses, but in ways that made unions happy. The Trump administration then takes these rules away. The latest example is the dismantling of the Obama Labor Department’s joint employer rule.
As the new Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia and the Office of Management Director Mick Mulvaney explained recently in The Wall Street Journal, “When joint employment exists, two separate companies are responsible for ensuring that workers receive the federally mandated minimum wage and overtime pay. Two companies are responsible for ensuring the proper records are kept. And two companies can be taken to court if it’s alleged that those responsibilities have not been met.”
Milk prices finally rebounding for farmers | Local | poststar.com
Milk bottles are filled at King Brothers Dairy in Northumberland in 2017. Milk prices have been increasing in the past year and projections expect prices to go up to $20 per hundredweight.
Dairy farmers are finally making more for their milk than it costs to produce, after years when the price was less than the cost of production, but it's nothing like 2014.
The amount farmers are paid vary according to the quality of their milk, but averages between $18 and $18.85 per 100 pounds of milk, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Janice Degni, a dairy and field crop team leader and specialist with Cornell Cooperative Extension.

Political Scene: 79 state employees made $200K or more - News - providencejournal.com -
A quarter of the 100 highest-paid state employees for 2019 work in corrections, with all of them making more in overtime than base pay.
Half of the top 10 and top 30 highest earners in the state for 2019 work at the University of Rhode Island, led by, as usual, the school's head men's basketball coach, David Cox.
URI President David Dooley rounded out the top three at $397,045 in total compensation, according to a list of the top 100 highest earners in state government for 2019. Dooley's contract expires in July, so an even higher pay package could be on the way.
