The Massachusetts Wage Act
Imposes strict liability and severe penalties for employers who fail to pay overtime or regular wages within six days after a pay period.
A wage, under the Wage Act, includes commissions, but not true bonuses.
Massachusetts and Federal laws also require payment of time and a half for overtime for non-exempt employees.
Violation of the Wage Act or overtime law can subject an employer to liability for treble the amount of the unpaid wage, costs, and attorneys fees.
