Bill > S07256

This bill amends various laws to provide employees with new lien rights and procedures to recover unpaid wages. The key provisions are: - Establishes an "employee's lien" on an employer's real and personal property for unpaid wages, including liquidated damages and penalties. This lien can be filed by the employee, the Department of Labor, or the Attorney General. - Allows employees to more easily attach an employer's assets and hold the top 10 shareholders or members of a non-publicly traded company personally liable for wage theft. - Extends the statute of limitations for filing an employee's lien to 3 years and provides procedures for enforcing and extending the lien. - Requires the Department of Labor and Attorney General to notify employees of the outcome of any legal action brought on their behalf for unpaid wages. - Expands the grounds for attachment of an employer's assets in civil actions for unpaid wages. - Gives employees the right to inspect the ownership records of their employer, whether a corporation or limited liability company. The overall purpose is to provide stronger legal tools for employees to recover unpaid wages from their employers.
