Bill > S1056

This bill aims to provide for the retention of retail workers in Massachusetts. It requires incumbent employers to provide a list of eligible employees to successor employers prior to a change in control of a covered location (a retail location with at least 10,000 square feet of selling space where the employer owns a minimum of five stores in the state). Successor employers must retain eligible employees (those employed at the location for at least 90 days prior to the change in control) for a 90-day transitional employment period under the same or similar terms and conditions. The bill also outlines enforcement mechanisms, administrative penalties, and an appeal process for violations.
