Authorizes exemptions from minimum wage and overtime compensation requirements for certain employees

HB 958 would allow employers to pay certain employees below the state minimum wage or skip overtime pay under four specific conditions: employees under 21, workers at small businesses (49 or fewer covered employees), employees who quit without 2 weeks' notice, or employees who violated company policy after receiving written notices. Employers must document violations and can only apply these exemptions for up to two pay periods. The bill explicitly excludes most employees from these exemptions, requires written notice for policy violations, and clarifies that co-employment arrangements don't count toward business size limits. Currently pending in committee (HCS passed Do Pass with 7-3), it would take effect after January 1, 2026, and would not apply retroactively.
