Bill Summary
Relative to establishing a minimum training wage. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 151, Section 1, by adding a provision that establishes a "training period" for workers under the age of eighteen, lasting for their first 90 days of employment. During this training period, employers would be allowed to pay these young workers a wage that is $0.50 less than the state's minimum wage. However, this reduced wage is only permissible if the commissioner of the Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DLWD) expressly approves it, otherwise, any wage less than $0.50 below the minimum wage during this training period will be considered illegally low.
