Sec. 5. (a) Notwithstanding IC 22-2-5-2, the correctional institution and:

(1) an employee if there is no representative described under subdivision (2) or (3) for that employee;

(2) the exclusive representative of its certificated employees with respect to those employees;  or

(3) a labor organization representing its noncertificated employees with respect to those employees;

may agree in writing to a wage payment arrangement.

(b) A wage payment arrangement under subsection (a) may provide that compensation earned during a school year may be paid:

(1) using equal installments or any other method;  and

(2) over:

(A) all or part of that school year;  or

(B) any other period that begins not earlier than the first day of that school year and ends not later than thirteen (13) months after the wage payment arrangement period begins.

Such an arrangement may provide that compensation earned in a calendar year is paid in the next calendar year, so long as all the compensation is paid within the thirteen (13) month period beginning with the first day of the school year.

(d) Absent an agreement under subsection (a), the correctional institution remains subject to IC 22-2-5-1.

(e) Wage payments required under a wage payment arrangement entered into under subsection (a) are enforceable under IC 22-2-5-2.
