Relative to transparency in employee benefits reporting in private construction

AI Summary

This bill aims to increase transparency in employee benefits reporting for private construction projects in Massachusetts. It requires employers on private construction projects over $750,000 to: 1) Post a certificate of compliance showing they are registered with the state and current on contributions and payments related to unemployment insurance and the employer medical assistance contribution. 2) Post the names and contact information of their workers' compensation carrier and agent, and confirm they are current on workers' compensation coverage. 3) Ensure all workers on the job site sign in and out, providing their name, trade license number (if applicable), and time of entry and exit, which must be made available for inspection by the Attorney General's office. The goal is to provide more visibility into employer compliance with worker protection laws and regulations in the private construction industry.
