Recent developments in employment law have emerged, particularly regarding wage transparency and overtime regulations. The Department of Labor's overtime rule is facing challenges, while the Federal 80/20 and 30-Minute Tip Rule has been eliminated. In Maryland, new compensation transparency laws are set to take effect, prompting employers to prepare for compliance. Additionally, Maryland's approach to data minimization is creating unique compliance issues for businesses. Meanwhile, agencies in Michigan are seeking clarity on new minimum wage and tip credit requirements. Massachusetts has adopted new wage equity and pay transparency legislation, joining the growing trend among states to enhance compensation transparency. These changes reflect a broader movement towards increased wage transparency and regulatory compliance across various states, including Maryland and Massachusetts.
