New Massachusetts Sick Leave Law Effective July 1, 2015 [View all]
http://www.agcmass.org/news-advocacy/latest-news/new-massachusetts-sick-leave-law-effective-july-1-2015/"Earned Sick Time for Employees
On November 4, 2014, Massachusetts approved Ballot Question 4 -"Earned Sick Time for Employees." I am writing to explain what the laws means to you as a Massachusetts employer.
Effective Date
The law takes effect July 1, 2015.
What is Sick Time?
Employees may use sick time to care for themselves, spouse, child, parent, or parent of spouse, for physical or mental illness, injury or medical condition that requires home care, professional medical diagnosis or care, preventative medical care, or routine medical appointments, or to address psychological, physical or legal effects of domestic violence.
If the use of earned sick time is foreseeable, the employee must make a good faith effort to provide notice to the employer in advance of using the earned sick time."
