SB585

Senate Bill 585 mandates that Arkansas employers with more than ten employees provide itemized wage statements to employees who are minors. This statement must be provided at the beginning of the pay cycle when wages are paid. The required information includes the basis for pay in hours or days worked, the rate or rates of pay, the gross pay, and a breakdown of all deductions made during that pay period. The bill explicitly defines a minor as any person under the age of eighteen. The bill amends Arkansas Code § 11-4-217, which currently outlines record-keeping requirements for employers.
