AI Summary
This bill amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to require employers with two or more employees to post a notice at their workplace informing workers about equal pay laws. The notice must include statements about the illegality of paying different wages based on characteristics like race, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, and gender identity under both federal and state law. The notice must also provide contact information for the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and explain that employees who believe they have experienced wage discrimination can file a complaint. The bill additionally requires the Department of Civil Rights to maintain an anonymous telephone reporting line and a public website with information about workers' rights and an electronic reporting form. Employers who fail to display the required notice can be fined up to $100. The changes will take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law, aiming to increase transparency and awareness of wage discrimination protections for workers across Michigan.
