Bill > HB0108

This bill modifies Tennessee's state employee pay period regulations by removing the requirement that pay periods be strictly semimonthly (twice per month on specific dates) and instead allows the commissioner of finance and administration more flexibility in determining pay periods. The key change is that state employees must now be paid at least twice per month, with the specific timing and dates to be determined by the commissioner. The bill maintains the existing requirement that employees will be paid for the preceding work period on or about the last day of each pay period. This change provides state agencies and the finance department more administrative discretion in managing payroll schedules while ensuring that employees continue to receive regular, frequent compensation. The bill will take effect immediately upon becoming law, which is intended to serve the public welfare by potentially creating more efficient payroll processes for state employees.
