Bill > H1742

This bill amends Chapter 136 of existing law to ensure that employees involved in retail sales on Sundays and holidays receive specific protections. Previously, while retail sales were permitted on these days, the bill now explicitly states that employees performing this work are entitled to the protections outlined in clause (50) of section six of chapter 136. This means their work on Sundays and holidays will be considered voluntary, and they will be compensated at a rate of "time and one half," which is one and a half times their regular pay.
