Allentown is distribution corridor with significant warehouse employment, and workers across Lehigh County's economy sometimes find their paychecks don't reflect the overtime hours they actually worked. Workers here are protected by the federal FLSA and by Pennsylvania's state wage and hour laws.
Pennsylvania generally follows the federal FLSA standard: overtime is owed after 40 hours in a workweek. State-specific nuances should be confirmed with a licensed attorney.
