Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2146 ensures contract workers can take leave for domestic violence without losing benefits.

Massachusetts H2146 mandates that employers allow contract workers to take up to 15 days of leave in any 12-month period if they are victims of abusive behavior. Employers must keep this leave confidential unless disclosure is required by law or court order. Employers cannot discriminate against or discharge contract workers for taking such leave. The bill also requires employers to notify contract workers of their rights and responsibilities under this leave policy.
