Bill > S0070

This bill requires employers to provide employees with more detailed and comprehensive information about their employment and wages. At the time of hiring, employers must give workers a written notice that includes specifics such as pay rates, pay basis, employment status, leave policies, potential deductions, pay period details, and the employer's contact information. For each pay period, employers must provide an itemized pay stub that shows gross wages, total hours worked, piece-rate units (if applicable), specific deductions, net wages, pay period dates, employee identification, employer details, and hourly rates. The bill mandates that employers keep these records for at least three years and provide employees with a signed copy of the initial employment notice. Employers must provide these documents either in printed form or electronically, with the option for employees to request a printed version at no cost. The primary goal of this legislation is to increase transparency in employment practices by ensuring workers have clear, comprehensive information about their compensation and employment terms. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
