(1) The legislature finds that employee hour and overtime requirements that are uniform throughout the state is a matter of statewide concern and that the enactment of an ordinance by a city, village, town, or county regulating employee hours or overtime would be logically inconsistent with, would defeat the purpose of, and would go against the spirit of the employee hour and overtime requirements.

The legislature finds that the absence of such local regulations is a matter of statewide concern and that the enactment of an ordinance by a city, village, town, or county regulating the employment benefits an employer provides to its employees would be logically inconsistent with, would defeat the purpose of, and would go against the spirit of the legislature's intent to allow each employer to determine the employment benefits the employer provides to its employees. Therefore, this section shall be construed as an enactment of statewide concern for the purpose of providing uniform regulation throughout the state regarding the employment benefits an employer may be required to provide to its employees.

Therefore, this section shall be construed as an enactment of statewide concern for the purpose of providing an employer right to solicit salary information that is uniform throughout the state.
