FAQ
Insurance and benefits Massachusetts law requires employers to provide certain benefits. These include worker's compensation insurance to protect employees if they get injured on the job and unemployment insurance, which provides temporary income to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
You may not be eligible for unemployment benefits if your only source of employment is from working as: An employee of a non-profit or religious organization. A worker trainee in a program run by a nonprofit or public institution. A real estate broker or insurance agent who work only on commission.
Does PFML apply to all Massachusetts employers? All Massachusetts employers are subject to PFML, with some exceptions: Self-employed individuals and most independent contractors are excluded (they may opt in). Municipal employers are excluded (in some cases they may opt in).
If your employer offers a private plan and you apply for PFML, your application will be denied.
Sure, they can terminate you while you are on Massachusetts PFML leave, but it's incredibly risky to do so. That's the case because the Massachusetts PFML Act creates an inference that any adverse employment action that occurs during a leave or within 6 months of its expiration is presumed to be unlawful.
When your employer participates in WorkShare, it allows you to keep your job and continue to receive company benefits while working reduced hours. Instead of laying off workers, WorkShare allows your employer to reduce the number of hours worked by a specific group of employees.
Workshare means allocation of work between the Parties developed by the Parties as each initiative is developed.
Massachusetts PFML contribution rates. The shared PFML contribution rate for 2024 and 2025 is 0.88% of an employee's earnings for employers with 25 or more covered individuals. Between 0.88%, the medical leave contribution is 0.70% and the family leave is 0.18%.
