Following a Voluntary Layoff; Report Link Massachusetts Mandates Treble Damages for Wage Violations.Littler Mendelson, P.C. - April 25, 2008 Wage and hour violations just became even more costly for Massachusetts employers as the Massachusetts legislature passed a bill mandating triple damages for all violations, regardless of employer intent. Senate Bill No. 1059 amends various provisions of the state wage statutes pertaining to damages. The new law goes into effect on July 13, 2008. As a result, wage and hour claims are now more attractive to plaintiffs' attorneys, and employers can expect to see an increase in wage and hour litigation, particularly class action litigation, in Massachusetts, ranging from claims for unpaid overtime to tip pooling violations. Report Link Massachusetts Is Poised to Implement Sweeping Health Insurance LegislationLittler Mendelson, P.C. - November 16, 2005 The Massachusetts House of Representatives recently passed broad health care legislation that, if signed into law, will affect nearly every business with employees in the state. The Massachusetts Senate passed a more limited bill that will increase costs only for employers that do not offer health insurance benefits. The two chambers will negotiate a compromise in the coming weeks, which gives employers an opportunity to weigh in on the proposals before a new law is enacted. Report Link Attorney General Issues Advisory to Nursing Homes on Immigrant Workers.Jackson Lewis LLP - April 28, 2005 In early 2005, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office issued an advisory to owners and operators of Massachusetts nursing homes regarding employment practices that may affect the rights of immigrant workers.
