Wednesday Conversation: Regional Economy

This year, Georgia joined states that have established laws that regulate and permit the use of payroll cards to pay employees. It’s sorta like a bank debit card that gives workers access to their earnings. Our law allows workers to opt out of using a payroll card if they prefer direct deposit or a paper check. Today, a labor attorney discusses this payment option by advising employers to approach implementation thoughtfully. The other column praises Georgia’s new solar energy legislation, while a third continues last week’s conversation on international trade agreements.
