HB5300 Summary

• Amends the Personnel Record Review Act to allow employees to inspect their pay stubs upon written request, treated as personnel records.

• Requires employers to furnish employees with a pay stub for each pay period containing hours worked, rate of pay, overtime, gross wages, deductions, year-to-date totals, and unused paid time off balance.

• Mandates employers maintain copies of employee pay stubs for at least 3 years and provide copies to current or former employees upon request; employers with restricted electronic pay stub systems must provide paper or email copies of all pay stubs for up to 3 years prior to separation.

• Establishes a civil penalty of $500 per violation payable to the Department of Labor for employers who fail to furnish pay stubs or commit other violations of the wage payment requirements.

• Defines "pay stub" as an itemized statement reflecting compensation details and permits unused benefit balances to be included in a separate statement if necessary.
