An Act to protect hospital workers from being deprived of their wages

This bill (HD 3052) amends Massachusetts wage law to ensure certain hospital workers receive regular weekly pay. It removes an exemption that previously allowed hospital workers who were shareholders in co-operative associations or casual employees of government entities (like cities, towns, or the Commonwealth) to be paid less frequently. The change requires these workers to be paid weekly, aligning them with standard wage payment rules. This directly affects hospital workers in co-ops and government hospital casual roles who were previously excluded from weekly pay requirements. The amendment applies to Section 148 of Chapter 149 of the General Laws.
