AN ACT CONCERNING PER DIEM EMPLOYEES.

HB 6820 requires employers in Connecticut to pay per diem employees the same rate as part-time or full-time workers at the same employer after six months of continuous employment. This bill directly affects per diem workers (typically temporary or on-call staff) who work for the same employer for over six months. The key provision amends state law to mandate equal pay rates for these employees, eliminating a common practice of lower compensation for temporary roles. The legislation aims to ensure fairer compensation for workers in ongoing, non-permanent positions without changing employment classification.
