Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Law

Massachusetts’ Paid Family and Medical Leave Law provides eligible employees with paid time off to care for a seriously ill family member, bond with a new child, or manage personal serious health conditions. Funded through payroll contributions, the law offers up to 12 weeks for family leave and 20 weeks for individual medical leave annually, with options for combining leave types. It ensures job protection during the leave period and provides partial wage replacement, supporting employees’ health and family needs without significant financial hardship.
