Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1978 PA 390, entitled"An act to regulate the time and manner of payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees; to prescribe rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, and the powers and duties of the department of labor; to require keeping of records; to provide for settlement of disputes regarding wages and fringe benefits; to prohibit certain practices by employers; to prescribe penalties and remedies; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,"(MCL 408.471 to 408.490) by adding section 18a.
AI Summary
This bill amends a Michigan law that regulates how and when employees are paid their wages and fringe benefits, which are extra payments or benefits beyond regular salary. Specifically, it adds a new section that exempts "earned wage access services" from these regulations, provided they comply with a separate law called the "earned wage access services act." Earned wage access services, often referred to as EWA, allow employees to access a portion of their earned wages before their scheduled payday, and this bill clarifies that these services will not be subject to the existing wage payment regulations if they meet the requirements of the EWA act. This exemption is contingent on another bill, House Bill No. 5558 of the 103rd Legislature, also becoming law.
