S 1173 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act further regulating Sunday overtime wages

This bill amends Massachusetts labor laws to increase the overtime pay rate for work performed on Sundays from one and four-tenths times the regular hourly wage to one and one-half times. The change directly affects employees covered under Chapter 136 of the General Laws who work on Sundays, ensuring they receive higher compensation for that specific day. Additionally, the legislation repeals several related sections from Chapter 121 and removes specific references to Sunday overtime classifications from other statutes to align the legal framework with the new pay rate.
