S 1147 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act clarifying mandatory overtime protections

This bill amends Massachusetts law to remove a specific provision that previously allowed employers to require overtime work from certain employees. By deleting subsection (h) of Section 103 in Chapter 224, the legislation clarifies the existing rules on mandatory overtime without adding new requirements or restrictions. The change directly affects workers covered under the state's overtime regulations, ensuring the legal framework aligns with the intent of the 2012 law.
