Short Term Disability and Mass. Paid Family Medical Leave: Details and FAQ 

SHARE has been asked questions about how Short Term Disability insurance (STD) and the new Massachusetts Paid Family Medical Leave law (PFML) will affect SHARE members starting in January. Many of these answers have been developing over the past several months, and we’ve worked to understand and collect them together.

Working with the Benefits department in Human Resources, SHARE put together this FAQ. It’s very detailed, because these two programs are both very detailed, and because the answers will be different for different SHARE members.

We hope you find this information useful. If you have read the info in the HR benefits packet and this FAQ and you have more questions, please call the SHARE office at 508-929-4020, or email share.comment@theshareunion.org. We will work to find out the answers with you.
