AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws to require employers covered under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act to provide the pay scale for a particular employment position to an applicant or employee upon their reasonable request during the hiring process or in their current role. The "pay scale" refers to the salary or hourly wage range for the position, and a "reasonable request" means a request made by the applicant or employee when invited to interview or at any time thereafter. The bill specifies that this section will be enforced in the same manner as Section 105A of Chapter 149.
