An Act securing the application of Massachusetts law to employees of employers incorporated or operating in Massachusetts who provide their labor and services remotely

This bill ensures Massachusetts employment laws apply to remote workers who provide services for employers based in Massachusetts, regardless of where the worker lives. It defines "remote employees" as those working virtually (via phone, internet, etc.) for Massachusetts-based employers, including entities like the state government itself. The key provision states that Massachusetts law automatically governs these remote workers' terms and conditions, unless a clear, written, and individually negotiated contract explicitly chooses another state's laws and guarantees full compliance with that jurisdiction's employment rules. This prevents employers from bypassing Massachusetts labor protections through standard contracts. The law takes effect January 1, 2026.
