The bill amends the existing law regulating wage and fringe benefit payments to employees in Michigan, specifically focusing on employer practices regarding wage disclosure. It prohibits employers from requiring employees to keep their wages confidential, signing waivers that deny their right to disclose wages, or discriminating against employees who share their wage information. Additionally, the bill mandates that employers provide wage information for similarly situated employees upon request, including details about salary, hourly wages, bonuses, and other forms of compensation, while allowing for the redaction of employee names.

The amendments also clarify the definition of "similarly situated employees" and establish a timeline for employers to respond to wage information requests, requiring them to do so within 30 days. The bill aims to enhance transparency in wage practices and protect employees from retaliation for discussing their wages. The changes will take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
