An Act relative to consolidating multiple definitions of employee
This bill updates Massachusetts labor law definitions to ensure consistency. It revises Chapter 149, Section 148B to include both Chapter 151 and Chapter 152 when defining "employee," and adds a cross-reference in Chapter 152 to adopt the same definition. The change directly affects how employment laws in Chapters 151 (wage standards) and 152 (labor relations) are interpreted and applied. It eliminates potential confusion by aligning the term "employee" across these related statutes without creating new rights or obligations.
