Does Tilt support Massachusetts's paid sick and safe time law?

Here's how sick and safe time works outside of Tilt

 

Quick answer
 The Massachusetts Earned Sick Time law requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees. Tilt generally does not support time taken under this law, since it functions more like PTO than a formal leave.

Who this applies to / Prerequisites

  • Employers and employees in Massachusetts covered by the Earned Sick Time law.

Key facts

  1. The Massachusetts Earned Sick Time law requires covered employers to provide paid sick and safe time to eligible employees.
  2. Programs like this typically require employers to offer 5–10 sick and/or safe days, often with accrual and carryover provisions, functioning more like PTO than a formal leave.
  3. Tilt manages disability accommodation laws and pregnancy accommodation laws at the state and federal level separately — contact your Leave Success Manager with questions about those.

What if it doesn't work

  • I'm not sure whether my absence should go through Tilt or my company's sick time system: Most employers manage this time within their existing time and attendance systems rather than through a Tilt leave process — contact your Leave Success Manager for guidance.
  • If none of these apply, contact your Leave Success Manager (employees) or Customer Success Manager (HR teams).

Limits and exceptions

  • Tilt does not currently support time taken under the Massachusetts Earned Sick Time law or similar paid sick and safe time laws.
  • The leave laws described in the related Massachusetts articles are generally for private employers; public/state employers may have additional or different requirements.
