House Bill 108, sponsored by Lamberth, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 23, Part 2, regarding the pay periods for state employees. The bill modifies Section 8-23-202 by deleting the existing subsection (a) and replacing it with new language that establishes the pay period for state employees as occurring no less than twice per month, as determined by the commissioner of finance and administration. Additionally, it specifies that all state employees will be paid on or about the last day of each pay period for the preceding period or any part thereof for which compensation is due.

Furthermore, the bill amends subsection (b) of the same section by removing the term "semimonthly." This change aims to provide clarity and flexibility in the scheduling of pay periods for state employees. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely compensation for state employees.
