HADLEY — The Greater Easthampton Chamber of Commerce, Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce, and Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce will host an informational session of the new earned-sick-time law on August 6 at the Hadley Farms Meeting House, from 10 a.m. to noon.

The Attorney General’s Office is presenting information sessions to educate employers and employees about the new measure, which went into effect July 1. These sessions, offered statewide and online, will provide guidance on implementation, explain employers’ and employees’ rights and responsibilities, and provide opportunities to get specific questions answered.
