AI Summary

This bill establishes fair scheduling practices for employees in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It requires employers to pay employees their regular hourly rate for on-call shifts when the employee is required to be available but not called in to work, with some exceptions. The bill also prohibits employers from taking adverse employment actions against employees who request schedule changes due to caregiving responsibilities, enrollment in career-related education or training programs, or for part-time employees with a second job. The Attorney General, in consultation with the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, will establish rules and regulations to enforce the provisions of this bill.
