An Act relative to fairness for municipal employees

This bill clarifies that municipal governments (towns and cities) must comply with Massachusetts' wage and hour laws for their employees. It amends two key laws: Chapter 41, Section 108A (which governs municipal employee salaries) to require compliance with Chapter 151, and Chapter 151 itself to explicitly include municipal governments as employers covered by its wage protections. The changes ensure municipal employees receive the same wage and hour safeguards as workers in other sectors under state law. This affects all municipal employees across Massachusetts who work for local governments. The bill does not create new wage standards but ensures existing state wage laws apply uniformly to municipal employers.
