April 2015

They had released a factsheet, but claimed a poster was forthcoming. They have now stated that they will not be creating a poster. The law itself requires that employers post information about the law along with posting the employer’s own parental leave policies. They now say posting the factsheet (or a similar document with information about the law) along with the employer’s policy will satisfy the posting requirement.
As such, we are moving forward with adding the factsheet information to our MA AIO. We will include on the notice the statement that “Employers must post the company parental leave policy alongside this notice.” Since parental leave policies for various companies differ so significantly, we will not include blanks on the AIO for this information to be filled in.
