  • Log on to the PA state website and look around for fair labor standards, or something like that. Your answer will be there, somewhere.
  • No, it is not legal. It does not matter how many employees he has, they are subject to the basic labor laws. Here are the basic rules, which every employer in Pennsylvania is required to post prominently in their place of business: http://www.dli.state.pa.us/landi/cwp/view.asp?a=142&q=206139 He is required to pay you 1.5 times your normal rate for every hour over 40 worked during the week. Note that there is no exemption based on the number of employees -- I suspect he just made that up.
  • Your employer is incorrect. Most federal laws only apply to an employer of a certain size (e.g. over 5 employees or over 15 employees). However, the FLSA applies to all employers engaged in interstate commerce. Moreover, your state probably has an OT law as well that would apply to all employers in the state.
