Bill > HB716

This bill amends the Wage Payment and Collection Law to strengthen employer notification requirements and impose penalties for non-compliance. The bill requires employers to notify employees at the time of hiring about their payment details, including pay rate, payment schedule, and fringe benefits, and to provide a summary of the Wage Payment and Collection Law. Employers must either directly inform employees of these details or post them conspicuously in the workplace. Additionally, employers must keep a summary of the act posted in a location where employees can easily read it. Failure to provide required notifications will result in a summary offense punishable by a fine of up to $500. The bill also modifies the statute of limitations for wage collection claims, stipulating that if an employer fails to meet notification requirements, the three-year limitation period for filing wage claims will not begin until the employer satisfies those requirements. This legislation aims to enhance transparency in wage-related information and ensure employees are well-informed about their compensation and labor rights.
