Bill > A06950

This bill introduces the "Construction Reporting Pay Act," which aims to provide more financial protection and scheduling predictability for construction workers. Specifically, the bill mandates that any laborer, worker, or mechanic in the construction industry who reports for work at an employer's request will be guaranteed payment for at least four hours at their prevailing wage rate, even if they are not ultimately needed for a full shift. Additionally, if a scheduled shift is cancelled with less than twelve hours' notice, the worker will be entitled to compensation for two hours of work. The legislation is grounded in the legislative finding that construction employees deserve the same scheduling reliability as workers in other industries, with the goal of creating a more harmonious and safer working environment. The bill applies to various types of construction projects covered by specific labor law sections and ensures that these reporting pay provisions are considered part of the prevailing wage requirements. The act will take effect 90 days after becoming law, allowing time for necessary implementation preparations.
