Bill > SB585

This bill amends Arkansas labor law to require employers with more than 10 employees to provide detailed wage statements to minor employees at the time they are paid. Specifically, the bill mandates that these itemized statements must include the pay basis (hours or days worked), rate of pay, gross pay, and all deductions for the pay period. The bill clarifies that for the purposes of this law, a minor is defined as a person under 18 years old, and a person is considered to have reached the age of majority at 18. This change aims to increase transparency and provide young workers with a clear understanding of their earnings and deductions. The bill builds upon existing labor regulations that already require employers to maintain employment records for at least three years and make those records available for inspection by labor authorities.
