An Act protecting wages of employees who receive wages through an electronic wage card

This bill protects Massachusetts employees who receive their wages via electronic payroll cards by mandating specific consumer protections. It requires employers to allow workers to withdraw their full net pay at least once per week without any fees and ensures that balance inquiries can be made for free through phone or online systems. Additionally, the law mandates that any usage fees beyond the initial transaction must be clearly disclosed to the employee before they occur. These changes aim to prevent hidden costs and ensure workers have timely access to their earned income.
