Attention Employers: you are obligated under Massachusetts Law to keep accurate records of all of your employees. You must retain a record of the name, address and position of your employees. More importantly, you need to have records of the amount paid each pay period to each employee, and of the hours worked each day and each week for every employee. The records must be kept on file for at least two years after the entry date of the record. You also have an obligation to allow your employee, if they make a request, to inspect the records at reasonable times and places pertaining to that employee.
