There are some weeks when, even though your employees have put in their 40 hours, you still need more work done. You can ask for that additional work from your employees, but it's going to cost you more per hour than you normally pay staff, taking the form of overtime pay.
Employees who work more than 40 hours a week are entitled to a higher rate of pay for the additional work. This is called overtime pay. Federal overtime laws require employers to pay certain employees who work more than 40 hours in a week at least "time and a half" for the extra time they put in. For example, if an employee makes $30 an hour, they would receive $45 for each hour of overtime they work.

Letter to the Editor, Oct. 30, 20230: Prohibit taxation of overtime pay | Letters | richmond.com
With many people working overtime through the pandemic, I believe it's time that our local politicians and state lawmakers pass legislation that prohibits taxation of overtime hours in the commonwealth. Virginia's U.S. senators and representatives also need to present this issue in Congress. Most essential workers did not receive any stimulus money during the pandemic, yet they had to expose themselves to possible infection and had to pay higher prices for certain goods and services.
New Pennsylvania Overtime Exemption Minimum Salary Requirements Set to Exceed FLSA's Requirements
In what seems like an eternity ago, in June 2018, the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) proposed new regulations under the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act (PMWA) that would increase significantly the minimum salary requirement for the white-collar overtime exemptions under this law.
After many twists and turns, these regulations were published in their final form on October 3, 2020 and are now law in Pennsylvania. These regulations can be found here .

Hagedorn asking for investigation into legality of company threatening to close Rochester
(ABC 6 News) - Thursday, Congressman Jim Hagedorn asked U.S. Department of Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia to investigate the legality of a California-based company threatening to close its three Rochester facilities and layoff nearly 500 workers if they do not renegotiate their less than one year old contract.
Hagedorn says last December, employees of Crenlo Engineered Cabs in Rochester signed a labor agreement to last until 2024.

Pennsylvania's Minimum Wage Act and Overtime Pay Expanded
This past weekend, Governor Tom Wolf's new legislation went into effect, expanding Pennsylvania's Minimum Wage Act (MWA) regulating overtime pay. The legislation increases the maximum salary an employee can earn and still be eligible for overtime.
Under the new law, beginning on January 1, 2020 workers who earn up to $35,568 annually may qualify for overtime. That salary level increases to $40,560 annually beginning on October 3, 2021, and will increase again to $45,500 on October 3, 2022. Beginning in 2023, the salary threshold will adjust automatically every three years. The legislation permits up to 10% of those salary levels to be satisfied by commissions, incentive payments, and non-discretionary bonuses.
Pennsylvania To Expand Eligibility For Overtime Pay Beyond Federal Thresholds – CBS
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — After three years of work on the issue, Gov. Tom Wolf's administration said Pennsylvania will become one of a handful of states to expand eligibility for overtime pay beyond federal thresholds, starting Saturday.
The Democratic governor first proposed the regulation three years ago amid a repeated failure to persuade the Republican-controlled Legislature to raise Pennsylvania's minimum wage above the federal baseline.
When it was approved in January by a regulatory board, the new overtime regulation was estimated to expand overtime pay eligibility to 82,000 of the very lowest-paid salaried workers through 2022, delivering another $20 million to nearly $23 million a year in increased earnings after the rule takes full effect.
New PA overtime rule should boost pay for Lehigh Valley workers - The Morning Call
Thousands of middle class workers in the Lehigh Valley and statewide will benefit from a new rule designed to expand eligibility for overtime pay beyond a federal threshold.
But the move comes at a difficult time, as many employers try to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, say some attuned to Valley businesses.
The expansion ends about three years of work on the issue by Gov. Tom Wolf's administration. On Saturday, Pennsylvania adopted the federal standard that took effect in January, when the Trump administration increased the eligibility threshold for overtime to $684 a week, or $35,568 a year, from $455 a week, or $23,660 annually. Starting next year, Pennsylvania will exceed the federal standard.
