Bill > S00668

This bill amends the state finance law to establish new rules for recovering wage overpayments by state employers. The key provisions include setting a minimum threshold of $500 for wage overpayment recovery, limiting recovery attempts to overpayments made within the past 365 days, and requiring employers to provide employees with 30 days' notice and an opportunity to respond before seeking recovery. The bill allows employees to elect to have recovery limited to no more than 10% of their biweekly paycheck, with the comptroller retaining sole authority to collect any remaining amounts when an employee separates from service. The changes aim to provide employees with more protection and transparency in cases of alleged wage overpayments, ensuring that small overpayments are not pursued and that employees have a chance to review and respond to recovery claims before action is taken.
