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.

In addition, the employer in Weymouth is required to make sure the employee receives any benefits that were guaranteed in a contract when the employee started their work. The employer often pays for some of the benefit plans, but other plans require additional voluntary contributions from the employee. Further, employees are sometimes required to work for a minimum amount of time before becoming eligible for certain benefits.

What Employee Benefits are Protected by Massachusetts law?

Massachusetts laws require that employers providing medical plans for their workers perform particular legal duties.

Life in Weymouth

Weymouth is named after Weymouth, Dorset, which is located in England. The U.S. city is located in Norfolk County in the state of Massachusetts. Its formal name is The Town of Weymouth. It is a very historic town, as it was incorporated in 1635. Currently Weymouth has a population of 54,000.

Since Weymouth is a very "mature" city, it has had ample time to develop economically and commercially. In fact, the town is nearly completely developed compared to other areas in the region. Therefore many of the economic projects in Weymouth focus on redevelopment and transformation of existing facilities into new uses.

Examples of redevelopment in Weymouth include the conversion of Nike Missile Base into Webb state Park. Another project converts Mammoth Mart into a shopping center. The city of Weymouth is a prime example of efficient and productive use of commercial zoning.

The Town of Weymouth is neatly divided into four areas, or "Squares": Bicknell Square, Jackson Square, Weymouth Landing, and Columbian Square. The busiest of the four squares is Columbian Square, which boasts many local recreation and entertainment venues.
