(7/9/14 update: Pay cards were authorized in Act 208, 2014)
The Director has revised the suspension of the use of pay cards as a method of payment of wages to be effective Sept. 1, 2014. The Revised Notice is available the Wage Standards website. The extension will provide ample time for the State legislature to act via the measure H.B. 1814 that is directly addressing the issue. Currently, the measure is allowing both direct deposit and pay roll cards as long as they are voluntary, among other requirements.
If the measure passes and becomes law, the provisions of the new law will prevail.
