Bill > SB0340

This bill amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to strengthen protections against employment discrimination by requiring equal compensation for work of comparable value, meaning employees must be paid equally for jobs that require similar levels of skill, responsibility, effort, education or training, and are performed under similar working conditions, regardless of their religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, or marital status. The bill also clarifies existing definitions and provisions within the act, including adding a definition for "compensation" to encompass all earnings and benefits, and ensuring that certain past discrimination claims can still be pursued.
