For Massachusetts employers, the South Shore Chamber of Commerce Human Resources Advisory Group and Government Affairs Committee are pleased to offer an Educational Session on the new MA Paid Family and Medical Leave Act (MA PFML). This informative session will be put on by newly-established Department of Family and Medical Leave. The program will include an educational presentation from the Department as well as an opportunity for employers to ask questions.

As you are likely aware, the MA PFML applies to all Massachusetts employers regardless of size. This is a great opportunity to be able to ask questions.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ISSUES REVISED TITLE IX REGULATIONS
On April 19, 2024, the United States Department of Education (“DOE”) issued final regulations for Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (“Title IX”). Title IX prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance. The new regulations go into effect on August 1, 2024, so school districts are encouraged to review their policies and procedures and provide staff training on these new regulations as soon as possible. The final regulations continue to list specific elements that must be included in any policy, such as range of disciplinary actions, standards of evidence, and procedures. The DOE has provided template policies here: https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/resource-nondiscrimination-policies.pdf and Murphy, Hesse, Toomey & Lehane will be creating model policies and notice letters as well.
