The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6820, seeks to amend title 31 of the general statutes to establish new compensation requirements for per diem employees. Specifically, the bill mandates that any per diem employee who has been employed for more than six months by an employer must be compensated at the same rate of pay as other part-time or full-time employees within the same organization.
This legislative change aims to ensure equitable pay for per diem employees, aligning their compensation with that of their full-time and part-time counterparts after a specified duration of employment. The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces this new requirement to enhance fairness in employee compensation practices.
