Bill > HB4409

This bill requires employers to create comprehensive written job descriptions for each position and mandates their disclosure to job applicants and employees. Specifically, job descriptions must include essential duties and responsibilities, required skills and training, working conditions and schedule, and salary information. Employers must make these job descriptions available during recruitment, hiring, or promotion processes, and to any employee who requests them. The bill also stipulates that employers cannot apply a revised job description to a current employee without giving them an opportunity to review and initial the changes. For violations of these new requirements, the bill establishes a graduated system of civil fines: first violations result in a $1,000 fine after a 14-day correction period, with subsequent violations incurring increasingly steep penalties up to $25,000 for a fourth or later violation. Additionally, aggrieved individuals can bring legal action to recover actual damages, with a minimum award of $10,000, plus actual costs and attorney fees. The new provisions will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law, aiming to increase workplace transparency and provide clearer expectations for both employers and employees.
