An Act relative to paid pregnancy loss leave
This bill amends Massachusetts law to require employers with 20 or more employees to provide 24 hours of paid leave annually to workers who experience a pregnancy loss. The leave must be paid at the employee's regular rate of pay and include the same employment benefits they would normally receive, such as health insurance. Employers are not required to offer additional leave if they already have a policy that provides equal or greater time off for the same reasons under the same conditions. The legislation also defines key terms like "covered employer," "employee," and "domestic partner" to clarify who is eligible for these protections.
