The bill amends the existing law regulating the payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees in Michigan. It introduces new provisions that prohibit employers from implementing practices that discourage or prevent employees from disclosing their wages. Specifically, employers are not allowed to require nondisclosure agreements regarding wages, compel employees to sign waivers that deny their right to disclose wages, or discriminate against employees for revealing their wage information.

Additionally, the bill 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 in Michigan.
