In a recent decision from the Business Litigation Session of the Massachusetts Superior Court, Laughlin v. BinStar, Inc., the court held that the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave Law (PFML) does not impose individual liability and does not recognize aiding-and-abetting claims. The decision highlights key differences between the PFML and other laws covering Massachusetts employers, and holds that, unlike statutes that expressly permit claims against individual corporate officers and agents, the PFML limits liability to the employer entity itself.
