House Bill 108 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, specifically Section 8-23-202, regarding the pay periods for state employees. The bill establishes that the "pay period" for state employees shall occur no less than twice per month, as determined by the commissioner of finance and administration. It also stipulates that all state employees will be compensated on or about the last day of each pay period for the preceding period or any part thereof for which compensation is due.

Additionally, the bill removes the term "semimonthly" from subsection (b) of the same section, thereby eliminating any ambiguity regarding the frequency of pay periods. This change aims to clarify the payment schedule for state employees and ensure timely compensation. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
