Massachusetts COVID-19 Emergency Paid Sick Leave—Employer Guidance

New Members

Dear Employer:

As a reminder, under the terms of Chapter 16 of the Acts of 2021 (An Act Providing for Massachusetts COVID-19 Emergency Paid Sick Leave), effective May 28, 2021, employers are required to make paid leave time available to employees for certain reasons related to COVID-19.

Last week, an e-mail was sent out with preliminary guidance related to this new law. As a follow-up, we wanted to provide a link to the newly created COVID-19 Sick Leave website, which will be the best source for information going forward:

https://www.mass.gov/info-details/covid-19-temporary-emergency-paid-sick-leave-program

Please consult the website for the Notice to Employees that employers are required to provide pursuant to subsection (i) of Section 10 of the legislation.  This notice is available in English and other languages.
