If I work at a school as an hourly employee and I am not in the teachers because I am not a teacher, is my employer still covered by collective bargaining in terms of my employment
In Pennsylvania, collective bargaining rights extend to many public school employees, not just teachers. However, it depends on the specific agreement in place. Check with your union representative for detailed information.
I am not in the union
If you're not part of a union, your employment conditions might not be covered by collective bargaining agreements. It would be best to consult your employment contract or an employment lawyer for specific guidance.
So if I'm not covered by the collective bargaining then does that mean I'm fully covered flsfa
It seems like you're referring to FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act). If not covered by collective bargaining, you're typically under the FLSA. This includes minimum wage, overtime pay, recordkeeping, and child labor standards. For specific clarification, consider consulting an employment lawyer.
In Pennsylvania is there a difference between salary employees and hourly? Also, if a policy covers salary and I'm paid hourly does that mean that legally the policy does not pertain to me legally
In Pennsylvania:
- Salary and hourly employees are treated differently under FLSA.
- Salary employees are typically exempt from overtime, while hourly employees are not.

Always consult with an employment lawyer for precise information.
