“Under the new law, employers cannot deduct time or assess points against an employee’s time-bank, which in turn could subject the employee to disciplinary action, as a means of penalizing the employee for using their legally allotted time-off,” Christopher Feudo and Garrick Josephs of Foley Hoag law firm write for JD Supra.
“Additionally, employers cannot discharge, threaten, penalize, discriminate or retaliate against an employee, for making a complaint that the employer engaged in the aforementioned prohibited conduct,” they note.
