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 13a (MCL 408.483a), as added by 1982 PA 524.
The bill prohibits employers from requiring nondisclosure of wages as a condition of employment, from asking employees to waive their right to disclose their wages, and from retaliating against employees who do disclose their wages. Additionally, it mandates that employers provide wage information for similarly situated employees upon request, within 30 days, including details on sex and seniority, while allowing for the redaction of names.
