by
To allow employers to pay wages by electronic funds transfer only. The bill would require employers who choose to do so to notify current employees and give them at least six weeks to establish an account at a financial institution to accept the deposit or transfer of wages.
Referred to the Committee on Local, Urban, and State Affairs
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the bill pass.
Substitute offered
by
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that does not allow an employer to pay wages by electronic funds transfer only, but does streamline the procedures for using this form of payment. Under current law, the employer must receive prior consent from each employee. The bill would eliminate this requirement, but allow employees to opt out and still receive a paper pay check.
