Massachusetts S1354 establishes bereavement leave for employees to handle family member deaths.
Massachusetts S1354 amends the General Laws to allow employees to take bereavement leave for up to 10 business days within any 12-month period. This leave can be used for funeral arrangements, attending the funeral, grieving, or legal proceedings related to the death. Employers decide if the leave is paid or unpaid, and must permit the leave unless they have fewer than 10 employees. Employers may require proof of death and can affect existing policies or laws.
