Bill Summary

For legislation to establish training wages. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to establish a training wage that would allow employers to pay workers less than the standard minimum wage for the first 480 hours of employment. The bill specifies that any wage below $10.00 per hour during this training period would be presumed to be "oppressive and unreasonable," unless the commissioner has expressly approved a lower wage under existing provisions in the law. The purpose of this training wage is to provide employers with the flexibility to pay new hires a lower rate during an initial training period.
