Discussion:
Effective October 1, 2024, Maryland employers must update their pay statements and new hire pay rate notices. HB 385 requires a written statement of gross earnings of the employee and deductions from those gross earnings on the physical pay stub or the online pay statement. The statement must include:
- The employer’s name registered with the state, address, and telephone number;
- Dates of work covered by the pay period;
- Number of hours worked during the pay period, unless the employee is overtime exempt;
- Rates of pay;
- Gross and net pay earned during the pay period;
- Amount and purpose of all deductions;
- Description of the information used to calculate the gross and net pay; and
- Applicable piece rates of pay and number of pieces completed at each piece rate for each employee paid at a piece rate.
The requirements for the new hire pay rate notice are the same and must include the rate of pay, regular paydays set and leave benefits. However, now the notice must be provided in writing.
