Say Yes to SB 628
California's Ag Overtime Tax Credit
What would SB 628 do?
Senate Bill 628 would support California farmers and agricultural employees by creating a payroll tax credit to reimburse farmers for overtime wages paid to their employees. It would improve work opportunities and take-home pay for employees, delivering millions of dollars to working families and rural communities. The bill was authored by state Senator Shannon Grove, R-Bakersfield. It has bipartisan support.
Note: “Overtime wages” means the difference between the employees’ overtime rate of pay and their regular rate of pay, or the “half” in “time-and-a-half.”
Who supports SB 628?
California Farm Bureau, along with California farmers and ranchers support improved wages for their employees and support decisions by California policymakers to forgo General Fund revenues to reimburse agricultural employers for the cost of overtime premium wages that will flow directly to California agricultural employees and their families.
