Report Link Pennsylvania Passes Prohibition of Excessive Overtime in Health Care Act.
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - October 21, 2008
On October 9, 2008, Governor Rendell signed into law the Prohibition of Excessive Overtime in Health Care Act, making Pennsylvania the latest state to prohibit or limit mandatory overtime for health care employees. Effective July 1, 2009, the law prohibits health care facilities from requiring employees to work in excess of an agreed to, predetermined and regularly scheduled daily work shift. Employers also will be prohibited from retaliating against employees who refuse to work in excess of the Act’s limitations.

Report Link Is Your Computer Specialist Exempt From Receiving Overtime Pay in PA?
Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - May 18, 2006
Recently, there has been a spate of class action cases brought by attorneys who seek to recover unpaid overtime on behalf of current and former employees who were misclassified as exempt from overtime pay under Federal and/or State law. Indeed, such class action cases are currently the lawsuit du jour of the plaintiff’s bar because even small amounts of overtime not accounted for, when calculated over the statutory period, can result in significant liability. Further, the employer is on the hook for the payment of all of the plaintiff’s attorneys’ fees, which can be substantial.
