House Bill 2240 amends the Labor Code to authorize an employer to elect to pay wages to an employee through a payroll card account plan that is linked to a federally insured financial institution and uses electronic funds transfer to deposit wages in the employee's account. The bill sets out implementation and employee notification requirements for such a payment method and provides for an employee to opt out of the payroll card account plan and request an alternate form of payment.
