Senate Bill 741 amends the Labor Code to clarify that the 180-day deadline for an employee to file a wage claim with the Texas Workforce Commission is a matter of jurisdiction. The bill requires a commission examiner to dismiss a wage claim for lack of jurisdiction if the wage claim is filed later than the 180th day after the date the wages claimed became due for payment.
