Leaders Roll Out New Wage Transparency Tools
UMass Lowell recently hosted a forum presented by the Boston Women’s Workforce Council (BWWC) to discuss the state’s new wage transparency law.
The event was attended by state Secretary of Labor and Workforce Development Lauren Jones and aimed to help employers understand how the law can strengthen their workforce.
The 2024 Frances Perkins Workplace Equity Act seeks to promote wage parity and transparency by establishing new requirements for reporting for Massachusetts employers.
The law was signed into law last year by Gov. Maura Healey and is named after a former U.S. labor secretary who was the first woman to serve in the presidential cabinet.
For more information, contact David Joyner, executive director of communications and digital media, or Nancy Cicco, associate director of media relations.
