Relative to compensation of certain employees on holidays. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 136 of the General Laws to require fast-food restaurants to compensate their employees at a rate of 1.5 times their regular pay for work performed on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Employees cannot be required to work on these holidays, and refusal to do so will not be grounds for discrimination or penalty. The Attorney General will enforce this provision, and any violations will result in a fine of up to $1,000.
