Bill Summary
Amending the Massachusetts Earned Sick Time Law to provide paid pregnancy loss leave
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts Earned Sick Time Law to provide paid pregnancy loss leave. It expands the definition of "family member" to include a spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, grandchild, grandparent, or sibling of the employee. The bill allows employees to use earned sick time for pregnancy loss, unsuccessful fertility treatments, failed adoptions, and other events related to pregnancy and fertility. It also establishes a refundable payroll tax credit to reimburse employers with five or fewer employees for the cost of providing earned sick time.
