HB 4406 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Labor: fair employment practices; wage information of similarly situated employees; require an employer to disclose to an employee under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 13a of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.483a).

This bill requires employers in Michigan to provide wage information to employees who request it, specifically data on pay for similarly situated workers within the same job classification or with comparable duties. Under the new rules, employers must respond to such requests within 30 days and may share details like salary, bonuses, and overtime pay while redacting specific employee names but including their sex and seniority. The legislation also prohibits employers from forcing employees to sign nondisclosure agreements about their wages or from punishing workers who share their compensation information. These changes aim to increase transparency in the workplace by ensuring employees have access to comparative pay data and protecting them from retaliation when discussing their earnings.
