Bill Summary
Relative to wages of employees who receive wages through an electronic wage card. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill aims to protect the wages of employees who receive their pay through an electronic wage card, also known as a payroll card account. It defines a payroll card account as a prepaid account established by an employer to which an employee's wages, salary, or other compensation are directly or indirectly transferred. The bill requires employers using payroll card accounts to provide employees with the ability to make at least one free withdrawal per pay period, up to the full amount of their net wages, and to disclose any fees associated with the card in advance, excluding third-party fees. Additionally, employees must be given a means to check their payroll card account balance without incurring any costs, whether through an automated phone system or online.
