Labor: fair employment practices; certain employment discrimination information; require employers to post. Amends sec. 602 of 1976 PA 453 (MCL 37.2602) & adds sec. 202b.
This bill requires employers in Michigan with 50 or more employees at a single location to post a notice informing workers about laws against wage discrimination based on various protected characteristics. The notice must explain that federal law prohibits unequal pay due to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, genetic information, or disability, while state law extends these protections to include sexual orientation, gender identity, height, weight, and marital status. It also directs employees to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights for assistance and provides contact information for anonymous reporting of violations. Employers who fail to display this approved notice may face a civil fine of up to $100.
