This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 16A.17, subdivision 8, to authorize additional compensation for certain state employees when an agency fails to make a scheduled payroll payment. The amendment introduces a new provision that allows for the distribution of a financial penalty paid by an agency responsible for late payroll payments, as required under a collective bargaining agreement.

Additionally, the bill clarifies existing exceptions for payroll payment procedures, which include leave under collective bargaining agreements and plans according to section 43A.18 or the rules of the Department of Management and Budget. The language regarding resolving formal employee grievances has been retained, while the word "or" has been deleted to accommodate the new provision regarding financial penalties.
