Summary

This Act clarifies that an employer is liable to an employee for liquidated damages if the employer does not make wages available during the next payday after an employee quits, resigns, is discharged, suspended, or laid off. The only difference between Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill No. 212 and Senate Bill No. 212 is this revised Synopsis. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual and revises the section heading to accurately describe the content of the section.
