An Act helping employees after a relative’s tragedy

Summary

The bill adds a new law giving all covered workers in Massachusetts up to ten paid days of bereavement leave each year when a family member dies. It applies to full‑time, part‑time, temporary and seasonal staff, but not to employers with fewer than 25 employees. The leave must be taken within 30 days of the death (or within a year for a child’s death) and includes continued pay, benefits, and job protection.
