Pennsylvania mirrors the federal FLSA. The Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act requires 1.5× pay after 40 hours in a workweek, with no daily overtime.

  • 1.5× pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
  • No daily overtime or double time under Pennsylvania law.
  • Pennsylvania's minimum wage remains at the federal $7.25.

Pennsylvania calculates overtime on the workweek only, so a long single day does not trigger overtime unless weekly hours exceed 40.

Frequently asked questions

Does Pennsylvania have daily overtime?

No. The Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act pays 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek, with no daily overtime and no double time. A long single day only matters if it pushes your weekly total over 40.

Does Pennsylvania calculate overtime differently from federal law?

In some cases, yes. Pennsylvania's own regulations (the PMWA) can set a salaried, non-exempt worker's overtime rate more generously than the federal fluctuating-workweek method. If you're salaried but still overtime-eligible, check with the PA Department of Labor & Industry.

What is Pennsylvania's minimum wage?

Pennsylvania still uses the federal $7.25 floor — it hasn't set a higher state rate. Overtime is 1.5× of your actual rate, not the minimum, so most workers' overtime sits well above that figure.
