Overview: HB 6820, AN ACT CONCERNING PER DIEM EMPLOYEES, has been referred to the Joint Committee on Labor and Public Employees.
Purpose and Intent: The bill aims to address the employment status and compensation of per diem employees, who are hired on a temporary or as-needed basis.
Key Provisions:
- Requires employers to provide per diem employees with the same hourly wage and benefits as regular full-time employees performing similar work
- Prohibits employers from classifying employees as per diem solely to avoid providing benefits
- Establishes a process for per diem employees to file complaints with the Department of Labor regarding wage and benefit discrepancies
Affected Parties and Impacts: The bill would primarily impact per diem employees, who often face lower wages and lack of benefits compared to their full-time counterparts. It could help ensure more equitable treatment and compensation for this segment of the workforce.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: The bill has been referred to the Joint Committee on Labor and Public Employees, where it will undergo further review and potential amendments. If approved by the committee, the bill would then move to the full state legislature for potential floor votes.
