This bill amends current wage payment laws by repealing the requirement for employers to pay employees on a weekly or biweekly basis, allowing employers to determine the payment method for their employees. The new legal language specifies that the manner of payment will be decided by mutual agreement between the employer and employee, and employers must inform employees in writing about the payment method before their first day of employment. Additionally, if an employer intends to change the payment method, they must provide written notice to employees at least 90 days prior to the change.

The bill also repeals a section of the law concerning civil penalties imposed by the labor commission, which is no longer applicable. The changes aim to provide greater flexibility for employers in managing payroll while ensuring that employees are adequately informed about their payment options. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
