Earned Sick Time Law Workshop

The Attorney General’s Office is hosting information sessions to educate employers and employees about the 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.  Each information session is expected to last 2 hours, including time for questions and answers.
