Labor: fair employment practices; wage information of similarly situated employees; require an employer to disclose to an employee under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 13a of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.483a).

This bill requires employers in Michigan to disclose wage information about similar employees to their workers under certain conditions. The aim is to promote fair employment practices and ensure transparency regarding pay. By doing so, it seeks to help employees understand their compensation in relation to others doing similar work.

Supporters of this bill argue that it is a significant step towards achieving pay equity and transparency in the workplace. By requiring employers to share wage information, it empowers employees to negotiate better salaries and helps to eliminate wage discrimination based on gender or other factors.

Critics of the bill contend that it may create unnecessary administrative burdens for employers and could lead to tension among employees regarding pay. They argue that disclosing wage information may discourage merit-based compensation practices and could harm workplace morale.
