The new legislative session at the Connecticut General Assemblybegan last week and the Labor & Public Employee Committee wasted no time setting an agenda for bills for discussion in this short legislative session.        

At a committee meeting last Thursday, the Committee discussed a variety of items to be discussed and proposed as bills. 

Among the notable items that received a favorable nod to drafting:

• An Act Concerning Discriminatory Hiring Toward the Unemployed
• An Act Concerning State Employees and Bullying in the Workplace
• An Act Concerning Family and Medical Leave for Certain Municipal Employees
• An Act Concerning a Study on Changes to the Pay Frequency Laws
• Act Allowing Employers to Pay Wages Using Payroll Cards
