An Act relative to time and a half wages on Sundays and legal holidays
This bill proposes to increase overtime pay rates for employees who work on Sundays and legal holidays in Massachusetts from 1.1 times their regular hourly wage to 1.5 times. By amending existing state labor laws, the legislation would require employers to pay these workers time and a half for hours worked on these specific days. The measure also repeals several previous statutes related to overtime calculations to align them with this new standard.
