Relating to deductions from employee wages.

Updated the Senate ordering date from April 17 to June 16 and added June 16 Senate amendments to the bill's history.

Simplified the digest section by removing detailed explanations about collective bargaining agreements and readability scores.

Added a new section increasing the General Fund appropriation to the Bureau of Labor and Industries by $114,461 for processing public employee paycheck overpayment wage claims.

The bill title and summary were changed to specify deductions from public employees' wages instead of all employees' wages.

New definitions for 'public employee' and 'public employer' were added to reference existing state law (ORS 243.650).

The original text requiring itemized wage statements for all employers was removed and replaced with specific requirements for public employers to notify employees before deducting erroneous overpayments.

New requirements were added limiting deductions to 5% of gross pay per period unless the employee requests otherwise, and allowing recoupment from final paychecks upon termination.

The repeal of ORS 292.063 removes the general statute governing employer wage deduction statements.
