A bill to amend 1978 PA 390, entitled “An act to regulate the time and manner of payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees; to prescribe rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, and the powers and duties of the department of labor; to require keeping of records; to provide for settlement of disputes regarding wages and fringe benefits; to prohibit certain practices by employers; to prescribe penalties and remedies; and to repeal certain acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 14 (MCL 408.484).
Regulates the payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees, outlines the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, and sets forth the duties of the department of labor. The proposed amendment specifically targets section 14 of the act, stipulating that employers who violate the act will be guilty of a misdemeanor, with repeated violations of section 13a resulting in felony charges, potentially leading to imprisonment for up to 2 years, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
