Bill Summary

Relative to wage transparency in the workplace. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill aims to promote transparency in the workplace by requiring covered employers (private and nonprofit entities, the governor, and mayors/town administrators with 100 or more full-time employees) to submit an annual wage data report to the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development (EOLWD). The report must include information such as the total number and average compensation of male and female employees, as well as a breakdown by race and gender for the 10 highest-earning employees. The Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development will publish the reported data on the EOLWD website, and covered employers must also publish the data on their own websites. The Attorney General has the authority to enforce the reporting requirements and ensure compliance.
