Pennsylvania HB718 amends the Wage Payment and Collection Law to enhance enforcement of wage payment regulations.
Pennsylvania HB718 amends the Wage Payment and Collection Law to redefine "employer" and strengthen enforcement mechanisms. It expands the definition of employer to include various entities employing individuals in the Commonwealth. The bill mandates the Department of Labor and Industry to collect and report data on wage violations quarterly, including the number of violations, fines collected, and unpaid wages owed. Investigations into high-violation industries are required at least quarterly, and investigators must be trained to recognize labor, health, and safety violations.
