Description
Payment of wages and salaries; wage payments. Authorizes employers to pay wages and salaries by credit to a prepaid debit card or card account, without the employee's affirmative consent, if the employee fails to designate a financial institution to which payment could be made by electronic automated fund transfer. An employer making payment by prepaid debit card or card account shall use a financial institution with locations reasonably available to its employees and shall arrange to allow an employee at least one free withdrawal per pay period. Currently, payment via prepaid debit card or card account requires the affirmative consent of the employee, though such consent is not required if the employee has not designated a financial institution to which payment by electronic automated fund transfer could be made and the employee is employed at an amusement park.
