Bill overview
This bill, S.1335, aims to strengthen protections for workers in Massachusetts by addressing what its sponsors describe as ‘abusive waivers’ in employment contracts. It seeks to ensure that workers retain key rights and benefits even when waivers are included in their employment agreements. The legislation intends to provide greater clarity and safeguards against unfair or exploitative waiver practices, particularly concerning things like wage and hour protections and benefits. It’s designed to prevent employers from using waivers to circumvent labor laws.
