House Bill 4409 requires employers in Michigan to create and maintain a written job description for every position, directly affecting employers, job applicants, and current employees. These descriptions must detail essential duties, required skills, working conditions, schedule, and salary information. Employers must provide the applicable job description to applicants during recruitment, hiring, or promotion, and to any employee upon request. Current employees must also be given an opportunity to review and initial any revised job description before it is applied to them. Violations can lead to escalating civil fines for employers and allow aggrieved individuals to sue for actual damages or $10,000, plus attorney fees.
