ASSEMBLY SUBSTITUTE AMENDMENT 1, TO 2007 ASSEMBLY BILL 123

April 3, 2007 - Offered by Committee on Homeland Security and State Preparedness.

AB123-ASA1,1,2 An Act to create 109.03 (1) (e) of the statutes; relating to: the frequency of wage payments to volunteer fire fighters and emergency medical technicians.

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law generally requires an employer to pay an employee his or her wages by no later than 31 days after the date on which the wages are earned. Current law, however, provides exceptions for employees engaged in logging or farm labor, employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement establishing a different payment frequency, school district and private school employees who request payment over a 12-month period for services performed during the school year, and employees who receive compensatory time off in lieu of overtime compensation. This bill creates another exception for volunteer fire fighters or volunteer emergency medical technicians who by agreement with their employers are paid semiannually or annually.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

AB123-ASA1, s. 1 Section 1. 109.03 (1) (e) of the statutes is created to read:

AB123-ASA1,2,3 109.03 (1) (e) A volunteer fire fighter or a voluntary emergency medical technician who, by agreement between the volunteer and the entity employing the volunteer, is paid semiannually or annually.
