An Act relative to bereavement leave

This bill creates a new bereavement leave policy for Massachusetts employees. It requires employers to allow up to 10 business days of leave for the death of a family member (including spouse, child, parent, or domestic partner living with the employee) and up to 4 business days for an extended family member (like an aunt, uncle, or cousin who helped care for a family member). Leave must be taken within 30 days of the death, and employers decide if it's paid or unpaid. The law applies to most Massachusetts workplaces and doesn't override existing stronger company policies or laws.
