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 both the employer and employee, and mandates that employers 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.

Furthermore, the bill repeals RSA 273:11-a, III(b), which pertains to civil penalties imposed by the labor commission. The amendments also maintain certain provisions regarding payroll cards, including requirements for written disclosures of payment options and fees, as well as ensuring that employees can discontinue the use of payroll cards without penalty. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
