Utah SB0213 establishes a one-year statute of limitations for wage claims under the Utah Payment of Wages Act.

Utah SB0213 amends the Utah Payment of Wages Act to set a one-year statute of limitations for employees to file lawsuits for unpaid wages. This applies to claims less than or equal to $10,000, which must first be pursued through administrative remedies. For claims over $10,000, employees can file directly in court. The bill also allows courts to award actual damages and a penalty of 2.5% of unpaid wages, assessed daily from the court's final order until payment. This change affects employees and employers within Utah, modifying existing legal procedures for wage disputes.
