Earned Sick Time Law
Presented by the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office
Sponsored by Hadley Farms Meeting House
The Greater Northampton Chamber, Amherst Area Chamber and Greater Easthampton Chamber of Commerce are pleased to host an informational session on the new Earned Sick Time Law which went into effect July 1, 2015.
These sessions, offered statewide and online, will provide guidance on implementation, explain employers ‘and employees ‘rights and responsibilities, and provide opportunities to get specific questions answered. The Earned Sick Time law was approved by the voters on November 4, 2014 and entitles employees in Massachusetts to earn and use up to 40 hours of sick time under certain conditions. The Attorney General enforces this law and also wrote and published final regulations to clarify practices and policies in its administration. More information, including the final regulations and sample documents, may be found on the Attorney General’s Earned Sick Time webpage: www.mass.gov/ago/earnedsicktime
Each information session is expected to last 2 hours, including time for questions and answers. Questions regarding these information sessions and the Earned Sick Time Law may be directed to Morgan Callahan atearnedsicktime@state.ma.us or (617) 963-2024.
