Title

Labor, restriction on the percentage of temporary employees a company that received incentives may employ, Sec. 41-29-2.1 added

Summary

The bill would require that employers receiving economic development incentives from the Alabama Department of Commerce have no more than 5% temporary workers, or lose eligibility for future incentives for at least three years, with a hearing option to contest noncompliance.

What This Bill Does

It sets a cap of 5% on temporary employee positions for incentive recipients. If an employer is found not in compliance, the department notifies them and the employer becomes ineligible for any other incentives for at least three years after the determination. The employer may request a hearing before the Department of Commerce to prove compliance; the rule applies to incentives awarded on or after the act's effective date.

Who It Affects

• Employers that receive grants, loans, performance-based incentives, or other economic development incentives from the Alabama Department of Commerce, who must limit temporary workers to 5% or face consequences.
• The Alabama Department of Commerce, which will issue notices of noncompliance, determine ineligibility, and conduct hearings to resolve compliance.

Key Provisions

• Adds Section 41-29-2.1 requiring that incentive recipients' workforce may not have more than five percent temporary employee positions.
• Establishes notice of noncompliance by certified mail, a three-year ineligibility period for future incentives after noncompliance, and a hearing process before the department; applies to incentives awarded on or after the act's effective date.
