Brian Nugent and Christopher Eby wrote an article for PEO Insider explaining the recent changes to Minnesota, Colorado, and New Jersey wage laws. They broke down the laws, “Minnesota recently adopted additional paystub and records retention requirements, mandatory written notices to employees, and criminal penalties (up to felony charges) for wage theft. Colorado enacted similar criminal penalties for wage theft. New Jersey’s recently enacted Wage Theft Law adopts comprehensive changes to its wage and hour laws.”
Nugent and Eby shared closing thoughts, “Wage laws frequently change and it is incumbent on PEOs to track carefully all changes in any state in which they operate. Even simple provisions like paystub requirements are subject to quick change and can expose PEOs and their clients to significant liability.”
