Bill > H1780

This bill, titled "Clarifying the Payment of Wages," aims to update existing labor laws regarding how often employees must be paid. Specifically, it proposes to amend Section 148 of Chapter 149 of the general laws, which currently mandates that wages be paid either weekly or bi-weekly (every two weeks). The bill seeks to insert the option of "semi-monthly" payments, meaning employees could also be paid twice a month, in addition to the existing weekly or bi-weekly options. This change provides employers with more flexibility in their payroll scheduling while still ensuring employees are paid at regular intervals.
