Description
The Amherst Area Chamber, Greater Easthampton Chamber, and Greater Northampton Chamber are pleased to host an informational session on the new Earned Sick Time Law.
The Attorney General’s Office is presenting 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. 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.
