AB123,1,2
1An Act to create 109.03 (1) (e) of the statutes;
relating to: the frequency of wage
2payments to volunteer fire fighters.
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 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, s. 1
3Section
1. 109.03 (1) (e) of the statutes is created to read:
AB123,2,3
1109.03
(1) (e) A volunteer fire fighter who by agreement between the volunteer
2fire fighter and the fire department or fire company employing the volunteer fire
3fighter is paid semiannually or annually.
