S 1155 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to compliance with the fair minimum wage

This bill requires employers in Massachusetts who are subject to minimum fair wage orders to provide employees receiving salaries with a written comparison of their hourly pay rate against the minimum fair wage. The comparison must be included with every payment made to the employee to ensure transparency regarding whether their salary meets the mandated minimum. If an employer fails to provide this comparison or pays a salary that falls below the minimum fair wage, they may face penalties outlined in existing sections of the law. The measure directly affects businesses operating under fair wage regulations and the workers they employ, aiming to clarify wage compliance without changing the minimum wage rate itself.
