S 2934 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act ensuring domestic violence victims' protections for all employees in the Commonwealth

This bill expands domestic violence protections in Massachusetts to include contract workers employed by staffing agencies and other third-party labor providers. It achieves this by legally defining these workers and their employers, ensuring they have the same right as traditional employees to take time off for safety reasons related to domestic violence. The change removes the previous restriction that limited these protections only to direct employees, thereby covering a broader range of workers in the Commonwealth.
