AI Summary

This bill amends Section 148 of Chapter 149 of the General Laws, which pertains to the payment of wages, by changing the frequency at which employees must be paid. Previously, employers were required to pay employees either weekly or bi-weekly, meaning once a week or once every two weeks. This bill inserts the option for employers to pay employees semi-monthly, which means twice a month, in addition to the existing weekly or bi-weekly options, aiming to adjust the payment schedule for greater convenience.
