A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO AMEND THE REQUIREMENT OF NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES ABOUT WAGE AND HOUR TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 95-25.13 reads as rewritten:
"§ 95-25.13. Notification, posting, and records.
Every employer shall:
(1)	At the time of hiring, give to each employee a written statement, to be dated and signed by the employer and the employee, setting forth the wage and hour terms of employment.  The statement shall include the anticipated hours of work, the wages agreed upon, the time and place for payment of wages, and policies, if any, regarding sick pay, vacation pay, holiday pay, commissions, bonuses, and other amounts promised.
(2)	Give to each employee a written statement, to be dated and signed by the employer and employee, of changes in the wage and hour terms of employment specified in subdivision (1) of this section.  No change in those terms shall take effect until seven days after the employee and employer have signed such a statement, provided that nothing in this section shall prevent an employer from increasing wages or otherwise changing the terms of employment to the benefit of employees retroactively, taking immediate disciplinary action, or terminating the employment relationship.
(3)	Maintain a written record of the terms of employment specified in subdivision (1) of this section and changes in the terms of employment made pursuant to subdivision (2) of this section and, at the request of an employee to see such individual's records, make those records available to the requesting employee at a reasonable place and time within one working day after the request is made.
(4)	Furnish each employee with an itemized statement of deductions made from his wages under G.S. 95-25.8 for each pay period such deductions are made."
Sec. 2.  This act becomes effective March 31, 1994.
