An Act amending the act of July 14, 1961 (P.L.637, No.329), known as the Wage Payment and Collection Law, further providing for employees who are separated from payroll before paydays.
HB 1568 amends Pennsylvania's Wage Payment and Collection Law to clarify when employers must pay employees who are terminated or leave their job before the next scheduled payday. The bill specifies that final paychecks must be issued by a defined deadline, ensuring workers receive earned wages promptly without delay. This directly affects employees who separate from their job before payday and their employers, who must comply with the updated payment timeline. The bill was referred to the Labor & Industry committee on June 9, 2025.
