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,” (MCL 408.471 to 408.490) by amending the title, as amended by 1982 PA 524, and by adding section 9a.
The proposed legislation seeks to amend the 1978 PA 390, which governs the regulation of wage and fringe benefit payments to employees, by introducing new requirements for employers regarding job descriptions. The main provisions of the bill mandate that employers create and maintain detailed job descriptions for each position, which must include a list of essential duties and responsibilities, a description of the skills, training, and effort required, the working conditions and schedule, and salary information including the pay scale. These job descriptions must be made available to job applicants during the recruitment, hiring, or promotion process, and to any employee upon request. Additionally, any revised job descriptions must be reviewed and initialed by current employees before being applied. The bill also modifies the existing law by expanding the responsibilities of certain state governmental officers and entities and requiring the creation and disclosure of job descriptions.
