Massachusetts bill H5302 provides bereavement leave for employees after a family member's death.
Massachusetts bill H5302 mandates that employers provide up to 10 business days of bereavement leave per calendar year for employees to grieve or make arrangements following the death of a family member. Bereavement leave may be taken within 30 days of the death, except for child loss, which allows leave up to 12 months after the death. Leave can be taken consecutively or intermittently in full or partial day increments. Employers must pay employees at their regular rate during this leave, and employees' regular benefits continue to accrue.
