All employers in Massachusetts must display a Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster. This poster must be put in a prominent place that allows employees easy access to it, such as a break room or lunch room.

The Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster is updated and does change frequently, and to that end it is important that only the most recent posters are displayed. In fact, not only is it important, it’s the law! Businesses who want to stay in compliance will make sure that the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster they are displaying is current. A good way to ensure that your Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster is current is to work with a poster compliance service, which will update you when it’s time to change your poster.

The Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster lets workers know that minimum wage is Massachusetts is currently $6.75 for most workers. For tipped employees the minimum wage is $2.63, but certain criteria must be met. First of all, the worker must make at least $20 in tips per month. The worker must be informed of the law, must make at least the minimum wage of $6.75 when tips are factored in, and must retain the tips or have the tips distributed through a valid tip-pooling arrangement.

The Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster also explains Massachusetts Blue Laws, which state that some retailers must pay a premium wage for Sundays and certain holidays. The poster also goes into laws regarding sick, vacation, and severance pay, as well as overtime laws and rules regarding on-call employees.

If an employee wants to file a wage complaint, the information regarding where to do so is included on the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster.

I hope you found this information educational and informative. If there are any changes or updates to the Massachusetts Minimum Wage Poster I’ll be sure to be in touch.
