An Act to prevent wage theft, promote employer accountability, and enhance public enforcement

Summary

The bill forces most employers to give new hires a written notice of pay rates and other job details within ten days. It expands liability so lead contractors, labor contractors and subcontractors are jointly responsible for wage‑theft violations, and authorizes the attorney general to bring civil actions that can award employees three times their lost wages. It also gives the AG power to investigate unemployment‑insurance violations and issue stop‑work orders.
