How Do I Comply with the New Mandatory Paid Leave Law

We are providing an opportunity to learn how to comply with this new law which takes effect July 1, 2015. Remember, all MA wage violations incur treble damages regardless of intent. Learn about this new law before it could cost you.

-Do I have to offer paid or unpaid leave?
-What records must I keep to ensure compliance?
-Are all employees eligible for sick leave?
-What best practices should I follow?
