SF 122: Relating to wage payment collection issues arising between employers and employees, providing penalties and remedies, and including effective date provisions

What it does

This bill relates to the collection of wages from employers by employees under Code chapter 91A, the “Iowa Wage Payment Collection Law”. The bill provides that an employer has the burden to establish that a deduction from employees’ wages is lawful and that the employer must obtain written authorization for the deduction from the employee in advance. The bill removes the requirement that an employer be notified by the division of labor services of the department of workforce development before the employer is required to fulfill requirements relating to employee wage and benefit information.
