Similarly Situated Employees
Employees in the same job classification or with comparable duties in skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions, and training.
Definition
As defined in Michigan Senate Bill 6, 'similarly situated employees' refers to employees who are within the same job classification as the employee requesting wage information or whose duties are comparable in skill, effort, responsibility, working conditions, and training to those of the requesting employee. This term is central to the bill's pay transparency provisions, allowing employees to compare their compensation with peers performing equivalent work.
