Maddy summaryThis bill, S 4070 ("Trapped at Work Act"), prohibits employers from requiring workers to sign employment promissory notes as a condition of employment. Such notes - agreements forcing workers to repay money if they leave before a set period - would be unenforceable and void under the law. Exceptions include agreements for repaying non-training-related advances, property leases, or collective bargaining terms. Violating the law subjects employers to fines of $1,000-$5,000 per affected worker, and workers can recover attorney fees if sued over these invalid agreements.
