Employee benefits and pensions are discussed both when the employee is hired and when they leave the position (for whatever reasons). Massachusetts's laws specifically govern the manner in which employers implement health plans and retirement pension payments. Recipients of such benefit plans can file claims using these laws.

Furthermore, employers in Chicopee are required to perform on any benefits that may have been promised to the employee in a contract when work began. The employer sometimes pays for benefit plans, but at times the employee must make a voluntary contribution. Furthermore, some employees establish a requirement that employees work with them for a certain period of time before they are eligible for benefits.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Massachusetts law?

Those employers who provide medical plans for employees owe particular legal duties under Massachusetts law to those they cover. They must disclose important information about the health plans, and employees are entitled to a fair process in the treatment of their claims under the plan. There are also some laws which give employees the right to continue on their health care plan from the previous employee during periods in which they are actively pursuing new employment.

Employers in Chicopee also owe legal duties to employees who receive pension plans. First, the employer is bound by law to provide the benefits that were guaranteed in the payment plan. Second, employers bear the risk of any investments that are made on behalf of an employee according to a matched contribution plan
