Clarifies the process for paying wages of dismissed employees in Massachusetts.
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws to clarify the process for paying wages to dismissed employees. It requires a written demand for relief to be submitted to the court before claims for unpaid employment-based compensation can be brought. Employers must respond to such demands within fifteen business days, paying any owed wages. If the employer can show the violation was due to good faith miscalculation or reliance on erroneous third-party information, they may avoid statutory or treble damages.
