Relating to: exemptions from minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements for minor league baseball players.
This bill exempts minor league baseball players covered by collective bargaining agreements from Wisconsin's minimum wage, overtime pay, and recordkeeping requirements. Specifically, it creates new statute 103.023 and amends statutes 104.01(2)(b)6 and 104.09 to remove these labor protections for players whose contracts are governed by a collective bargaining agreement that already specifies wages and working conditions. The exemption applies only to players under such agreements and does not affect other workers. Employers are no longer required to track hours or pay overtime for these exempt players. This change directly affects minor league baseball players in Wisconsin whose contracts include collective bargaining terms.
