Pennsylvania SB581 amends the act to enhance consumer protections and clarify employer duties regarding payroll card accounts.

Pennsylvania SB581 amends the act of December 19, 1975, to facilitate the use of electronic funds transfer systems. It mandates that employers provide employees with clear and conspicuous notice of all wage payment options, including direct deposit and payroll card accounts, before enrolling them in a payroll card account. Employers must also honor employee requests to change their payment method. The bill restricts employers from using payroll card accounts that charge overdraft fees and limits fees for in-network ATM withdrawals.
