An Act amending the act of January 17, 1968 (P.L.11, No.5), known as The Minimum Wage Act of 1968, further providing for minimum wages, for exemptions and for duty of employer.
SB 1093 raises Pennsylvania's minimum wage to $9.00 per hour starting January 1, 2026; $10.00 per hour starting January 1, 2027; and $11.00 per hour starting January 1, 2028. It also adds two new exemptions: one for employees working in the personal staff of elected officials or as immediate advisers, and another for minor league baseball players covered by collective bargaining agreements. These changes directly affect most private-sector employers and workers in Pennsylvania, with new wage rates taking effect on the specified dates. The bill updates the 1968 Minimum Wage Act but does not alter existing overtime requirements.
