AI Summary

This bill aims to increase wage transparency by requiring employers covered under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act to provide the pay scale for a particular employment position upon a reasonable request made by an applicant or employee. 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 during the hiring process or by an employee regarding their current position. The bill states that this new requirement will be enforced in the same manner as the existing law under Section 105A of Chapter 149 of the General Laws.
