2021 Wisconsin Statutes & Annotations|Chapter 103 - Employment regulations.|103.12 - Local regulation of employment benefits; statewide concern; uniformity.

103.12  Local regulation of employment benefits; statewide concern; uniformity. (1) The legislature finds that each employer in this state should be allowed to determine the employment benefits the employer provides to its employees without interference by local governments. The legislature finds that the absence of such local regulations is a matter of statewide concern and that the enactment of an ordinance by a city, village, town, or county regulating the employment benefits an employer provides to its employees would be logically inconsistent with, would defeat the purpose of, and would go against the spirit of the legislature's intent to allow each employer to determine the employment benefits the employer provides to its employees. Therefore, this section shall be construed as an enactment of statewide concern for the purpose of providing uniform regulation throughout the state regarding the employment benefits an employer may be required to provide to its employees. (2) In this section, “employment benefit” means anything of value, other than wages and salary, that an employer makes available to an employee, including a retirement, pension, profit sharing, insurance, or leave benefit. (3) (a) Except as provided in ss. 103.10 (1m) (d) and 103.11 (2) (d), no city, village, town, or county may enact or enforce an ordinance requiring an employer to provide certain employment benefits to its employees, to provide a minimum level of employment benefits to its employees, or to prescribe the terms or conditions of employment benefits provided to its employees.(b) Except as provided in ss. 103.10 (1m) (d) and 103.11 (2) (d), if a city, village, town, or county has in effect on April 18, 2018, an ordinance requiring an employer to provide certain employment benefits or to provide a minimum level of employment benefits to its employees, the ordinance does not apply and may not be enforced.History:  2017 a. 327.

(3) Any agreement by an employer or agent of the employer and an employee or prospective employee offering employment or any pay or benefit to an employee or prospective employee in return for taking an HIV test is prohibited, except as provided under sub. (2) (intro.).History:  1985 a. 29, 73; 1987 a. 70 ss. 1, 36; 1987 a. 403 s. 256; 1989 a. 201 ss. 6, 36; 1989 a. 225; 1993 a. 27; 1995 a. 27 s. 9126 (19); 2007 a. 20 s. 9121 (6) (a); 2009 a. 209.A police and fire commission is an “employer" under this section and may not test paramedic candidates for the HIV virus. 77 Atty.
