Wage Theft Prevention Act (WTPA)
The WTPA currently requires employers to provide employees, at the time of hiring, a written wage notice. The notice must be provided to the employees in English and in their primary language. It must be signed and dated by the employee and must be maintained for six years.
As noted in a prior FranklyHR, due to recent amendments, all employers are required to maintain records of the amount of sick leave provided to each employee for at least a six-year period. This goes into effect on September 30, 2020.
Recent amendments to the WTPA will also require home healthcare employers to specify the benefits (as defined by the Wage Parity Law) the home care worker is receiving in the new hire notice, and in their paystubs, effective October 1, 2020.
