  1  1    Section 1.  Section 91A.6, subsection 4, Code Supplement
  1  2 2005, is amended to read as follows:
  1  3    4.  On each regular payday, the employer shall send to each
  1  4 employee by mail or shall provide at the employee's normal
  1  5 place of employment during normal employment hours a statement
  1  6 showing the hours the employee worked, the wages earned by the
  1  7 employee, and deductions made for the employee.  However, the
  1  8 employer need not provide information on hours worked for
  1  9 employees who are exempt from overtime under the federal Fair
  1 10 Labor Standards Act, as defined in 29 C.F.R. pt. 541, unless
  1 11 the employer has established a policy or practice of paying
  1 12 exempt employees overtime, a bonus, or a payment based on
  1 13 hours worked, whereupon the employer shall send or otherwise
  1 14 provide a statement to the exempt employees showing the hours
  1 15 the employee worked or the payments made to the employee by
  1 16 the employer, as applicable.  An employer who provides each
  1 17 employee access to view an electronic statement of the
  1 18 employee's earnings and provides the employee free and
  1 19 unrestricted access to a printer to print the employee's
  1 20 statement of earnings, if the employee chooses, is in
  1 21 compliance with this subsection.
  1 22                           EXPLANATION
  1 23    This bill provides a limited exception to the statement
  1 24 relating to hours worked, wages, and deductions each employer
  1 25 is required to either send to or provide to an employee or
  1 26 otherwise provide on each regular payday.  An employer need
  1 27 not, under the bill, provide information on hours worked to
  1 28 exempt employees unless the employer has established a policy
  1 29 or practice of paying these employees overtime, a bonus, or a
  1 30 payment based on hours worked.  If the employer has
  1 31 established such a policy or practice, the employer must send
  1 32 or otherwise provide to the employee a statement showing the
  1 33 hours worked by the employee or the payments made to the
  1 34 employee, as applicable.
