Bill > S1181

This bill aims to increase transparency in the workplace by requiring certain employers to submit annual wage data reports to the state Secretary. It defines "covered employers" as private, nonprofit, and government entities with 100 or more full-time employees in Massachusetts. These employers must submit EEO-1 or EEO-4 data reports, which contain information on workforce demographics and pay by race, gender, and job category. The Secretary will then provide these reports to the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, which will publish industry-based aggregate wage data reports on its website starting in 2024. The bill also establishes enforcement mechanisms, including penalties for non-compliance, and states that the aggregate wage data reports are not considered public records subject to public disclosure laws.
