One provision of the bill may have the effect of decreasing the interest rate on a claim where an insurer improperly withholds payment, and of changing the interest calculation from compound interest to simple interest.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
Under the current law, the penalty interest to the insurance company for underpayment of a claim is set at 18%. Under the new law, it will be a floating rate between 10-20%. &nbsp;Some noted insurance lawyers in the state are advising their clients to report Harvey claims to insurers by email prior to September 1 because of this change.&nbsp;<br>
<br>
It is important to note that this provision does not apply to Texas Windstorm Insurance Association claims. &nbsp;It is certainly true that if there is a lawsuit that results from the insurance company&rsquo;s failure to adequately pay a claim, the current law is more advantageous to the policy holder than the law that takes effect on Friday, September 1st.<br>

<font face="tahoma, geneva, sans-serif"><em>By <a href="mailto:astergio@andrewsmyers.com" target="_blank" style="color: #336699;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">Tony Stergio</a></em></font></p>

<br>
However, the law also states that employers need only pay non-exempt employees (generally hourly) for time actually worked, so their pay can be affected by Harvey if the employer so chooses.<br>
<br>
Employers can also require both exempt and non-exempt employees to use PTO in times of inclement weather or natural disasters.</em><br>
