Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Reducing the maximum amount an employer can withhold from an employee's pay in order to recover overcompensation, including overcompensation of paid leave, from 10% to 5% will delay the State's ability to fully recoup payments to an employee made in error. Prohibiting an employer from recovering overcompensation paid to an employee in error to three years preceding the date of discovery of the overcompensation may limit or eliminate the State's ability to recover the amount of the error.
