H.B. 5078 (H-1): COMMITTEE SUMMARY RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT: WAGE CLAIMS
House Bill 5078 (Substitute H-1 as passed by the House) Sponsor: Representative Deborah Cherry
House Committee: Human Resources and Labor
Senate Committee: Human Resources, Labor and Veterans Affairs
Date Completed: 4-24-96
The bill would amend Public Act 390 of 1978, which regulates the payment of wages and fringe benefits and provides for the settlement of disputes regarding wages and fringe benefits, to allow the Director of the Department of Labor to enter into reciprocal agreements with other states for the collection of claims for wages, fringe benefits, and penalties assessed under the Act.
Proposed MCL 408.481a Legislative Analyst: P. Affholter
This bill would have no fiscal impact on the Department of Labor as collecting wages, benefits, and penalties is a function currently performed for delinquent employers within the State. The Department estimates that there are approximately 10 claims filed a year against out-of-State employers. The bill could increase revenue for the State and local governments as the collection of these wages would provide for additional income tax payments that the State has foregone in past years.
