Case: Wage & Hour/State Laws (E.D. Pa.)

A Pennsylvania federal district court denied American Oncologic Hospital’s motion to dismiss the claims of an orderly that his overtime pay rate wasn’t calculated correctly, and was in violation of the state’s Minimum Wage Act, ruling that while both parties’ arguments are cognitive while lacking definitive support from case history addressing the issue, the statute’s structure and history are more supportive of the orderly’s interpretation of the statute’s overtime wage calculations.
