An Act relative to transparency in employee benefits reporting in private construction
This bill requires employers working on large private construction projects in Massachusetts to publicly display specific compliance information at their job sites. It applies to residential developments with more than 10 units or commercial projects larger than 5,000 square feet that cost over $750,000. Under the new rules, employers must post a certificate showing they are registered and current on contributions, a notice with worker's compensation details, and a detailed log tracking who enters and leaves the site. Contractors and subcontractors must also provide these records to the Attorney General upon request for inspection.
