Bill > S09843

This bill, known as "the construction reporting pay act," aims to provide greater predictability and compensation for construction workers. It mandates that laborers, workers, or mechanics in the construction industry who report for work at the request or permission of their employer must be paid for at least four hours at their prevailing rate of wages, which includes any supplements or benefits. This provision ensures that workers are compensated even if their shift is cut short or they are sent home early. Additionally, if a scheduled shift is canceled with less than twelve hours' notice, workers are to be paid for two hours at their prevailing rate of wages. The bill's intent is to align scheduling practices in construction with other employment fields, fostering a more stable and safer work environment by creating a more harmonious relationship between labor and management.
