An Act relative to commissioned employees
HD 1407 allows employers to avoid liability for certain wage violations - such as failing to pay Sunday/holiday work or overtime - if they prove they acted in good faith based on a written opinion from the state labor department. Employers can use this defense even if the department later changes or invalidates that opinion. The law applies to all wage-related claims under existing state law, including those involving commissioned employees. It provides a legal shield for employers in disputes over compliance with wage statutes.
