Labor: fair employment practices; labor service agencies; regulate. Creates new act.

This bill, known as the Temporary Laborer Rights Act, establishes new regulations for temporary labor agencies, their clients, and the workers they employ in Michigan. It requires agencies to provide workers with clear written notices detailing job duties, pay rates, and meal or equipment costs before they start work. The law also mandates that agencies keep detailed records of transactions for seven years and makes these records available to workers upon request. Additionally, the bill prohibits agencies and clients from charging workers for meals they do not eat or for transportation to and from job sites. Finally, it includes provisions to prevent retaliation against workers who exercise their rights under the new rules.
