AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law in Massachusetts to allow employers to pay their employees weekly, biweekly, or semi-monthly. The bill is deemed an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of public convenience, as the deferred operation of this act would defeat its purpose of adjusting the frequency with which employees are paid.
