Pennsylvania SB678 amends the Wage Payment and Collection Law to clarify definitions and establish specific liability for general contractors.

Pennsylvania SB678 amends the Wage Payment and Collection Law by adding definitions for "construction contract," "construction services," "general contractor," and "subcontractor." It also establishes that a general contractor is jointly and severally liable for violations of the act committed by subcontractors. A subcontractor must indemnify the general contractor for wages, damages, interest, and attorney fees unless indemnification is provided in the construction contract or the violation arose from a lack of prompt payment.
