Bill > HB07197

This bill requires employers to create a comprehensive guide that explains the pay codes used on employee wage records, aimed at increasing transparency for workers. Specifically, employers must develop a guide that details various pay codes such as straight time, overtime, shift differentials, on-call pay, hazard pay, call-back pay, holiday or weekend pay, and geographical pay differentials. The guide must be posted on the employer's website in English, Spanish, and other languages commonly spoken by the employer's workforce. It must also include contact information for resolving pay-related disputes. Upon an employee's hiring, the employer must provide a detailed explanation of the pay codes specific to that employee's position. The bill mandates that each wage record include a link to this pay code guide, and employers must update the guide whenever a new pay code is introduced. This legislation is designed to help employees better understand their wage calculations and provide greater clarity about how their pay is determined. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and amends an existing section of Connecticut's labor statutes.
