Massachusetts Law Gives Private Right of Action Against Employers Who Fail to Pay Workers’ Compensation Premiums.
The second half of 2010 brought a number of changes in Massachusetts laws affecting employers. On August 5, the Massachusetts Personnel Records Statute was amended to, among other things, require employers to notify employees when placing information in personnel records that may or does “negatively affect” the employee’s employment. Then, on November 4, the first change to Massachusetts’ Criminal Offender Record Information law went into effect, which, among other things, prohibits employers from asking about criminal background information in employment applications.
