AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Under Utah's Payment of Wages Act, workers who believe they were not paid wages they earned can sue their employer in court. This bill sets a two-year deadline — measured from the date the wages were earned — for filing that lawsuit, after which the right to sue is lost. Workers who discover wage theft late or delay taking legal action would lose the ability to recover unpaid wages in court once that two-year window closes.
