The bill amends the existing law regulating wage and fringe benefit payments to employees in Michigan, specifically targeting employer practices related to wage disclosure and employment conditions. It prohibits employers from implementing policies that discourage employees from disclosing their wages, requiring employees to sign waivers that deny their right to disclose wages, and discriminating against employees who choose to disclose their wages.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that prohibits employers from inquiring about a job applicant's past wages, fringe benefits, credit score, or credit history during the hiring process, with certain exceptions for employers required by law to consider such information. These changes aim to promote transparency in wage practices and prevent discrimination based on wage history, thereby supporting fair employment practices.
