3 Introduction Employment laws vary from state to state with some being more employee-friendly than others. Federal regulations set minimum standards of worker protections that all employers of a given size must meet. Individual states, however, are free to grant workers additional or expanded rights or protections above this federal minimum. Virtually all employers in the U.S. are subject to federal employment regulations. Only the smallest, strictly local employers are not subject to federal regulations. If an employer does any of the following, they are participating in interstate commerce and are subject to federal employment regulations: Production of goods for commerce, such as transportation or communication Use of mail over state lines Interstate communications using the telephone Use of the Internet over state lines Interstate communications using electronic mail Make purchases from out-of-state vendors Sell to customers in other states This summary of employment regulations does not include information for those few employers not subject to the federal minimum employment regulations. Many states have regulations for public employers that are different than those for employers in the private sector. This document also does not include information on regulations (federal and state) that apply only to public sector employers. In this document we summarize the workplace regulations and worker protections available in Connecticut. Although not an exhaustive list, it covers the major topics small to mid-sized employers must deal with on a regular basis. Covered areas include: Wage, hour and overtime rules (including child labor and break rules); Leaves of absence (family leaves, voting time and jury duty); Discrimination and harassment regulations; and State rules on continuation of benefits. The federally mandated, but state run new-hire reporting requirements are covered under a separate document, available for download from Libretto or from the Agent 77 store. The following Quick View table summarizes these regulations. This is followed by a more detailed description of these regulations. Please be sure to read both carefully to understand your responsibilities under Connecticut and federal law. Also, see the resources section below for reference websites and Libretto tools that can help you comply with these regulations. Connecticut_Regs 1 of 13

7 Wage, Hour and Overtime Rules Employers are subject to the federal minimum wage, hour and overtime rules through the Fair Labor Standards Act. This act specifies that businesses that do at least $500,000 in gross revenue, as well as all health care facilities and schools are subject to the federal rules. Also, employers involved in interstate commerce are subject to the federal rules. Minimum Wage Connecticut minimum wage is $8.70 per hour. A special rate of 85% of the minimum may be applied to minors (under 18 years of age) working in agriculture or government, and may also be applied to the first 200 hours for minors working in other industries. Employers who are hotels and restaurants may apply a credit of up to 31% of the minimum wage for tipped employees who are service employees and bartenders provided that the total wages plus tips come to at least the minimum of $8.25 per hour. A credit of up to 11% of the minimum (or $7.34 per hour minimum cash wage) may be applied for tipped employees who are bartenders, provided that the total wages plus tips come to at least the minimum of $8.25 per hour. Such tip credits may apply only for those hours that an employee is doing work closely associated with serving patrons. A tip credit of not more than 35 cents per hour apply to employees in any other industry. Other work, such as set-up before opening, must be tracked separately and the tip credit may not be applied. Also, each week that an employer wishes to take a tip credit for an employee, they must have the employee sign a Tip Credit Statement (see resources section below). Be aware that certain local governments in Connecticut have a higher minimum wage or living wage requirements for employees in their jurisdictions. Be sure to contact your city or county government to see if there are any local minimum wage rules for your business. Certain occupations have different regulations that are detailed by the Department of Labor. Finally, both federal and Connecticut regulations allow employers to apply for licenses to pay sub-minimum wages to certain disabled persons. Please contact the U.S. Department of Labor or the Connecticut Department of Labor for more information on applying for these licenses. (Contact information for both are listed in the reference section below.) Overtime Connecticut has the same overtime rules as the federal government. That is, for any hours worked over 40 in a given week, non-exempt employees must be paid at least one and onehalf times their regular pay. Like the federal rules Connecticut exempts certain employees from minimum wage and overtime rules. Excluded employee classes include: executive, administrative, professional, outside salespeople, and computer professionals. (Use Libretto s FLSA Resource Package for help in determining whether a given employee is exempt). Connecticut also permits exemptions for certain small employers not involved in interstate commerce. See the Connecticut Department of Labor web site for a list of these exemptions. Payment of Wages Connecticut law requires that employees be paid every week, and payment must be made no more than 8 days after the close of that period. These regular pay periods must be established and published for all employees. Employers must: 1) advice employees in writing, at the time of hiring, of the rate of pay, hours of employment and wage payment schedules and 2) make available to employees, either in writing or through a posted notice maintained in a place accessible to employees, any employment practices and policies or Connecticut_Regs 5 of 13
8 changes with regard to wages, vacation pay, sick leave, health and welfare benefits and comparable matter. Final paychecks must be delivered no later than the following payday when the employee leaves voluntarily or is suspended as part of a labor dispute or is otherwise laid off. When an employee is discharged, the final paycheck must be delivered no later than the day following the last day of employment. All commissions due to commissioned salespeople are due with the final paycheck or on completion of a contract (this does not apply to insurance producers, insurers, or to real estate salespersons with regard to claims against an affiliated real estate broker). Deductions from the final paycheck may not be made without the employee's written consent. Effective October 1, 2013, where required under the law of another state, state income tax, for the employees performing services of the employer is such other state or employees residing in such states are allowed as deductions from wages. Accrued vacation benefits are due upon termination. Work Hours and Breaks Connecticut requires employees working 7½ contiguous hours to have at least a 30-minute meal break after the first 2 hours and before the last 2 hours of work. This meal break need not be paid, unless otherwise established through a collective bargaining agreement. Alternatively, employers may provide at least 30 minutes of paid rest or meal periods within a 7½-hour work period. Employers with 5 or fewer employees on a shift at a job site are exempt from this requirement. No employer can compel any employee engaged in any commercial occupation or in the work of any industrial process to work more than six (6) days in any calendar week. An employee's refusal to work more than six (6) days will not constitute grounds for his/her dismissal. In addition, no employee who states that a particular day of the week is observed as his/her Sabbath may be required by his/her employer to work on that day. Connecticut law requires employers to make a reasonable effort to provide a private place near the workplace (not a toilet stall) for a nursing mother to express breastmilk during her break or meal period. Employers may not discriminate or take adverse employment action against an employee exercising her rights to express breastmilk. Child Labor Connecticut child labor law requires all employers employing minors under the age of 18 to have Certificate of Age stating the age of the minor (issued by a city or county superintendent of schools). Work permits, a birth certificate or other legal proof of age is required for employment of minors under the age of 16. Employers who employ minors 16 and 17 years of age who have not graduated from high school are subject to the following limits for hours worked per day and per week: 1. When school is NOT in session (including summer vacations and holiday weeks): More than 6 days per week, More than 8 hours per day; nor More than 48 hours per week. Connecticut_Regs 6 of 13

In Manufacturing or Mechanical occupations: More than 9 hours per day; nor More than 48 hours per week.

No person under the age of 18 may be employed in any manufacturing, mechanical or mercantile establishment between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM, except that such minors may be employed until 11:00 PM in manufacturing, mechanical or mercantile and until 12:00 PM (midnight) in a supermarket on nights other than nights preceding a school day. A minor who is 15 years of age may be employed in mercantile establishments as a bagger, stock clerk, or cashier provided that the employment is: 1) during school vacation when school is not in session for five (5) or more days, except that a minor employed in a retail school store may be employed on any Saturday during the year; 2) for not more than 40 hours in any week; 3) for not more than 8 hours in any day and 4) between the hours of 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM except that from July 1 to the first Monday in September such minor may be employed until 9:00 PM.

Such minors must receive at least 30 minutes a day for meal periods. Please note that certain maximum hours also apply to the elderly, defined as 66 years or older. Both federal and Connecticut law prohibits minors from working in hazardous or certain other occupations. Certain exceptions to the child labor laws apply to some programs.
