HB05275

Connecticut HB05275 makes contractors liable for unpaid wages of subcontractors' employees on construction projects.

Connecticut HB05275 amends the state's statutes to hold contractors accountable for unpaid wages of employees of subcontractors on construction projects. The bill specifies that contractors are jointly and severally liable for any unpaid wages owed to employees of subcontractors for work performed under a construction contract. This applies to any subcontractor, regardless of their direct contractual relationship with the contractor. The bill also allows for the recovery of twice the amount of unpaid wages, along with costs and reasonable attorney's fees.
