SB374,1,3
1
An Act
to amend
104.09;
to create
103.023 and 104.01 (2) (b) 6. of the
2
statutes;
relating to:
exemptions from minimum wage, overtime pay, and
3
recordkeeping requirements for minor league baseball players.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Currently, the state minimum wage law requires that employers pay the applicable minimum wage set in statute to their employees and that employers keep certain records that include hours of employment and wages for employees. This bill exempts from these requirements individuals who have entered into a contract to play minor league baseball and who are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that expressly provides for wages and working conditions.
Also under current law, the Department of Workforce Development must classify by rule periods of work as periods to be paid at an employee’s regular rate of pay and periods to be paid at an overtime rate of at least one and one−half times that regular rate. DWD has promulgated rules requiring employers to pay overtime pay for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours per week and to keep certain records that include hours of employment and wages for employees but exempting certain employees from the overtime pay requirements. This bill exempts from these overtime pay and recordkeeping requirements individuals who have entered into a contract to play minor league baseball and who are compensated under a collective bargaining agreement that expressly provides for wages and working conditions.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
