The bill amends the existing law regulating wage and fringe benefit payments to employees in Michigan, specifically focusing on employer practices related to wage disclosure. It prohibits employers from requiring employees to sign waivers that deny their right to disclose their wages, implementing policies that discourage wage disclosure, or discriminating against employees who choose to disclose their wages. Additionally, the bill makes it unlawful for employers to inquire about a job applicant's past wages, fringe benefits, credit score, or credit history during the hiring process.

The amendments introduce new legal language that emphasizes the rights of employees to discuss their wages freely without fear of retaliation or discrimination. The bill aims to promote transparency in wage practices and protect employees from potential exploitation or unfair treatment based on their wage history.
