HD 1781 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act clarifying mandatory overtime protections

This bill amends an existing Massachusetts law to remove a specific clause regarding mandatory overtime in hospital collective bargaining agreements. By deleting section (h) of the relevant statute, the legislation clarifies the legal framework governing when hospitals can require staff to work extra hours. The change directly affects healthcare facilities and the labor unions that negotiate their employment contracts. This adjustment aims to resolve ambiguities in current overtime rules without adding new requirements or restrictions.
