An Act updating overtime protections to protect the Commonwealth's middle class workers

This bill updates overtime pay rules in Massachusetts to better protect middle-class workers by raising the salary threshold required for employees to be exempt from overtime requirements. It establishes specific annual salary minimums that increase each year, starting at $63,000 in 2024, and creates a formula for future adjustments based on minimum wage or wage growth data. The legislation also removes certain clauses from existing law and explicitly excludes adjunct and non-tenure-track college faculty from these exemption categories.
