House Bill 108, sponsored by Lamberth, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 8, Chapter 23, Part 2, concerning 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, the bill removes the term "semimonthly" from subsection (b) of the same section.
The changes aim to clarify the frequency of pay periods for state employees, ensuring they receive compensation at least twice a month. This legislation is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of timely payment for state employees.
