Bill Summary
Amends the Workplace Transparency Act. Provides that nondisclosure requirements may not be imposed in settlements relating to claims of sexual harassment or sexual assault in the workplace except as they relate to the monetary amount of the settlement or, at the employee's request, when they prohibit disclosure of facts that could lead to the identification of the employee.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Workplace Transparency Act to prohibit employers from requiring employees to sign nondisclosure agreements as a condition of employment related to claims of sexual harassment or sexual assault in the workplace. However, the bill allows for confidentiality provisions in settlement agreements related to the monetary amount or, at the employee's request, to prevent disclosure of facts that could lead to the employee's identification. The bill also prohibits employers from unilaterally including clauses in settlement or termination agreements that prohibit employees from making truthful statements about unlawful employment practices.
