MA H2163

Requires dismissed employees seeking treble damages for unpaid wages to first submit a written demand to the employer specifying amounts owed and reasons before filing suit

Gives employers 15 business days after receiving a written demand to cure wage payment deficiencies by paying the full amount owed to the employee

Eliminates employer liability for attorneys' fees and treble damages if the employer pays within 15 days and either the wages were indisputably due or the violation resulted from good faith miscalculation, error, or reliance on erroneous third-party information

Allows courts to waive statutory or treble damages if the employer demonstrates the violation was made in good faith with reasonable grounds for believing no law was violated

Applies to violations of multiple wage and hour statutes including sections on payment of wages, overtime, tips, minimum wage, and worker classification
