Bill Summary

For legislation to promote pay transparency. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote pay transparency in Massachusetts. It requires employers with 100 or more employees to report the race and gender ratios of their senior-level positions to the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD) annually. The EOLWD will then publish this data for each metropolitan statistical area in the state. Employees of covered employers whose senior positions have lower ratof women or minority representation compared to the regional labor force can apply to the Pipeline Promotional Opportunities Fund for professional development and coaching services to enhance their prospects for promotion, which would help advance gender and racial parity in the leadership of their employers. The bill also establishes a $25 million Pipeline Promotional Opportunities Fund, to be replenished annually, to provide financial aid for these professional development and coaching services.
