Additional compensation to state employees when an agency does not make a scheduled payroll payment authorized.

This bill allows state agencies to pay additional compensation to employees when payroll payments are delayed, ensuring workers receive timely pay. It amends Minnesota law to permit agencies to distribute financial penalties collected from late payroll payments directly to affected employees, provided such penalties are required by collective bargaining agreements. The change applies specifically to state employees whose agencies fail to make scheduled payroll payments and creates a mechanism to resolve grievances related to these delays. This provision does not alter existing payroll procedures but adds a specific exception for handling late payment penalties.
