Resolving a dispute over how overtime should be calculated for salaried employees in the state, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled that employers must pay salaried employees an additional 150%—as opposed to an additional 50%—of their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a given week.

In Chevalier v. General Nutrition Centers, the justices ruled 6-1 to affirm a decision by a split three-judge Superior Court panel. The panel had reversed the decision of an Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas judge and said that paying only an additional half of a salaried employee’s regular rate for overtime, as prescribed by the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, violated Pennsylvania’s Minimum Wage Act.
