Chamber Seminar on Paid Family and Medical Leave Law 
The October 1 starting date for contributions to the new Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML) program is rapidly approaching, and all employers need to be prepared.  To help explain the new law and answer employer questions, the Chamber is hosting a free seminar on Wednesday, September 11.  The seminar will be led by Laurie LaBrie of Integrated HR and will take place at Endicott College’s Gloucester Campus located at 33 Commercial Street, from 8 to 9 AM.
The Department of Family and Medical Leave (DFML) has provided additional information and guidance for employers on their website.  A comprehensive guide to Paid Family and Medical Leave for Massachusetts employers is available here.  Final regulations are posted on the DFML website here.
