CT SB00472

Effective July 1, 2020, payroll service providers responding to requests for proposals for personal care attendants must demonstrate ability to meet two communication requirements during prequalification or in their response.

Payroll providers must give personal care attendants sufficient advance notice prior to payment date with specific information about any time record problems that would affect pay, and provide an accessible method to address and correct problems before the payment date.

Payroll providers must offer a timely method for personal care attendants to receive corrective payments between regular payroll cycles within 48 hours after resolution of a pay discrepancy that occurred at least 24 hours after the original payment date.

Adds definition of "fiscal intermediary" as an entity providing payroll services for personal care attendants to Connecticut General Statutes sections 31-71a and 31-71d.

Fiscal intermediaries failing to meet these communication and timely payment standards are deemed to have failed to timely pay wages under state wage law; Commissioner of Administrative Services may adopt implementing regulations.
