Bill > S1008

This bill aims to protect employees who receive wages by payroll debit cards. It requires employers to provide written notice to employees about their payment options, obtain informed consent before paying wages by payroll debit card, and ensure that employees can access their full wages without incurring any fees. The bill also prohibits employers from engaging in unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices related to wage payment methods and requires the provision of local access to ATMs for fee-free withdrawals. Additionally, the bill limits the types of fees that can be charged to employees and prohibits linking payroll debit cards to any form of credit. Employers must also provide advance notice of any changes to the terms and conditions of the payroll debit card and reimburse employees for any new or increased fees charged before the notice period expires.
