Massachusetts H2188 proposes bereavement leave for employees to handle family member deaths.
Massachusetts H2188 amends the General Laws to introduce bereavement leave for employees. It allows employees to take up to 10 business days of leave for the death of a family member and up to 4 business days for an extended family member within a 12-month period. Leave must be taken within 30 days of receiving notice of the death. Employers may require proof of death and relation, and have discretion over whether the leave is paid or unpaid. This leave does not affect any existing agreements or laws that provide greater leave rights.
