Expands categories of permitted deductions to include prepaid legal plans, discounted mass transit passes, fitness center memberships, cafeteria and pharmacy purchases at employer locations, tuition and educational fees, and day care expenses.

Creates new provisions allowing employers to recover wage overpayments due to mathematical or clerical errors and to recover advances of salary or wages, with regulations to be promulgated by the Labor Commissioner governing notice, timing, frequency, and employee dispute procedures.

Allows employees to revoke wage deduction authorizations in writing at any time, with employers required to cease deductions within four pay periods or eight weeks, whichever is sooner, except for deductions required by collective bargaining agreements; act expires three years after taking effect.
