Labor: hours and wages; identity of employee who files a complaint under 1978 PA 390; prohibit department from disclosing to employer if requested by employee. Amends sec. 11 of 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.481).

House Bill 4321 proposes an amendment to the existing law governing the payment of wages and fringe benefits to employees. This bill introduces a new provision that allows employees to request that their identity be withheld from their employer when filing a complaint about alleged wage or benefit violations. If such a request is made, the Department of Labor is prohibited from disclosing the employee's identity to the employer, to the extent allowed by law. This change directly affects employees who file complaints by offering them potential anonymity, and employers who will receive complaints without knowing the specific employee's identity if requested.
