Employers get longer to contest wage claims

Employers have 30 days, instead of 10, to object after receiving notice of a wage claim. If employers miss that deadline, the labor commissioner may order payment based on the claim. The longer response period may delay workers’ recovery of unpaid wages. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
