An Act relative to time and a half wages

This bill standardizes overtime pay language in Massachusetts law by changing references from inconsistent fractional terms (like "one and two-tenths") to the standard "one and one-half" (1.5x) rate for eligible workers. It directly affects most hourly workers covered by Massachusetts overtime laws and their employers, ensuring consistent application of the 1.5x overtime rate. The bill amends specific sections of Chapter 136 to replace outdated phrasing and repeals related sections from a 2018 law that contained the inconsistent terms. This is a technical correction to clarify existing overtime requirements, not a new policy change.
