Bill > S974

This bill, concerning wage enforcement statutes of limitations, proposes to extend the time period during which an employee can file a claim for unpaid wages. Specifically, it amends several sections of Massachusetts General Laws, primarily Chapter 149 and Chapter 151, which deal with labor and wages. The key change across these sections is the replacement of a "3" or "two" year limit with a "6" year limit for bringing legal action related to wage disputes. This means that employees will have a longer period, six years instead of the previous three or two years, to pursue claims for wages owed to them, such as overtime pay or minimum wage violations, before the claim expires.
