Bill Summary
Relative to wage transparency
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase wage transparency in Massachusetts. It requires employers covered under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act to provide the pay scale for a particular position to job applicants or current employees upon their reasonable request during the hiring process or employment. The bill defines "pay scale" as a salary or hourly wage range for the position, and "reasonable request" as a request made by an applicant upon being interviewed or at any time thereafter during the hiring process, or a request made by an employee regarding their current position. The bill will be enforced in the same manner as other provisions under Chapter 149, Section 105A of the Massachusetts General Laws.
