AN ACT REQUIRING PAYCHECK TRANSPARENCY.

HB 5386 requires employers with 50 or more employees (including state/local governments) to provide employees with detailed written or electronic pay statements showing hours worked, gross earnings (separating regular and overtime pay), deductions, and net pay. It also mandates that these employers create and post a multilingual guide online explaining pay codes like shift differentials, hazard pay, or holiday pay, including dispute resolution contact information. The guide must be provided to employees at hire and included on each pay statement, with updates for new pay codes. This law takes effect October 1, 2026, and applies to all covered employers in Connecticut.
