Introduced Text

Massachusetts H3107 amends overtime pay rules for agricultural laborers, adjusting tax credits based on farm size.

Massachusetts H3107 modifies overtime pay regulations for agricultural laborers, introducing a refundable tax credit for employers based on the number of employees engaged in agricultural work. Farms with fewer employees receive a larger percentage of their overtime wages as a tax credit, up to 40%. The bill also adjusts the definition of "agricultural and farm work" to include secondary agriculture activities. It mandates the Department of Labor Standards to issue regulations clarifying the percentage of primary and secondary agriculture work required for overtime eligibility.
