MOMUP LEAVE · MASSACHUSETTS
Every leave, handled.
An employee just asked for leave. Maybe she's pregnant, maybe he's caring for his father, maybe it's their own health. The notices, the deadlines, the hour-by-hour tracking. We take all of it, end to end, so you can just be a good boss.
Every case reviewed by an employment lawyer.
The clock starts sooner than you think.
You want to do right by them. But the moment an employee asks for leave, the law expects things from you on deadlines measured in days, and nobody ever handed you the list.
Here's what you're on the hook for.
Required notices
State and federal, each with required language and timing. Getting one wrong is interfering with their legal rights.
Hard deadlines
10 business days to respond once the state opens the claim. Federal clocks run in parallel.
Hour-by-hour tracking
Intermittent leave counts every hour against a rolling balance. By hand, without error.
Job protection on the line
Their job and health insurance are protected for the entire leave. Handle the tracking or the return wrong and it is interference with their legal rights.
Miss a step and it's not just penalties and a possible lawsuit. It's a person you care about, hurt at the worst possible time.
Your options, honestly.
Do it yourself
Googling state law at 11pm, hoping the template is current.
Call your lawyer
Sound advice at hundreds of dollars an hour, for what is mostly admin work.
Lean on a big carrier
Paperwork weeks late, a different answer from every rep, while your employee waits.
Hand us the whole thing, and exhale.
You get to just be a good boss
Everything compliance-shaped comes off your desk. The only thing left is supporting them.
They feel cared for, not processed
Guided by people who treat a leave as a hard human moment, not a claim number. It's what we were built on.
Nothing slips
Every notice, date, and hour, owned by us and reviewed by an employment lawyer.

One short conversation. That's all we need to take over.

The MA Leave Deadline Card
Every date Massachusetts expects an employer to hit, on one page. Print it, pin it, hand it to whomever runs payroll.
We publish an updated card each year when the new figures are released.
One flat fee per leave.
No seat licenses, no annual contract, no software to learn. You pay for one leave, handled end to end. We'll quote it on the call, and it's a fraction of what a lawyer costs, far less than one mistake.
Who's behind this
MomUp has spent years on both sides of this exact moment. We are the Massachusetts, women-owned company that employers call to hire exceptional mothers, and that thousands of working mothers trust with their careers. MomUp Leave exists because employers kept asking us the same question: an employee is going on leave, who actually handles it? Now the answer is: we do.
