BOSTON – Workers in Massachusetts can take up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave to care for a seriously ill or injured family member as the last portion of a 2018 law instituting paid family and medical leave went into effect Thursday.
The law is designed to ensure workers do not miss out on wages while they take care of ill family members or a new child. It was originally passed and signed into law in June 2018 and has been phased in incrementally since January.
