                             AN ACT
 PERMITTING EMPLOYERS TO PROVIDE EMPLOYEES WITH WAGE
    STATEMENTS BY ELECTRONIC MEANS.

 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF IOWA:
    Section 1.  Section 91A.6, subsection 4, Code 2018, is
 amended to read as follows:
    4.  a.  On each regular payday, the employer shall send
  provide to each employee by mail or shall provide at the
 employee's normal place of employment during normal employment
 hours a statement showing the hours the employee worked, the
 wages earned by the employee, and deductions made for the
 employee.
    b.  The employer shall provide the statement using one of the
 following methods:
    (1)  Sending the statement to an employee by mail.
    (2)  Providing the statement to an employee by secure
 electronic transmission or by other secure electronic means.
 If an employee is unable to receive the statement by this
 method, the employee shall notify the employer in writing at
 least one pay period in advance, and the employer shall provide
 the statement by one of the other methods listed in this
 paragraph "b".
    (3)  Providing the statement to the employee at the
 employee's normal place of employment during normal employment
 hours.
    (4)  Providing each employee access to view a statement
 of the employee's earnings electronically and providing the
 employee free and unrestricted access to a printer to print the
 statement. 
    c.  However, the employer need not provide information
 on hours worked for employees who are exempt from overtime
 under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, as defined in 29
 C.F.R. pt. 541, unless the employer has established a policy
 or practice of paying to or on behalf of exempt employees
 overtime, a bonus, or a payment based on hours worked,
 whereupon the employer shall send or otherwise provide a
 statement to the exempt employees showing the hours the
 employee worked or the payments made to the employee by the
 employer, as applicable.
 An employer who provides each employee access to view an
 electronic statement of the employee's earnings and provides
 the employee free and unrestricted access to a printer to print
 the employee's statement of earnings, if the employee chooses,
 is in compliance with this subsection.
