[Massachusetts](https://help.backofficenow.com/compliance?hsLang=en#massachusetts) # Massachusetts Overtime & Sunday Premium Pay ## The Sunday premium sentence was not reconfirmed. ## The rule Weekly overtime in Massachusetts is premium pay after 40 hours, on the DOL state page. A separate Sunday or holiday premium is a different rule. This review did not open a Massachusetts statute page that says whether that premium is still required, so the old sentence is left as it was. A private summary was not used. ## Wording left as it was This review could not confirm the next point from an official source, so it is unchanged: Certain MA employers must provide premium pay for Sunday/holiday work. ## What employers must do Pay time and a half after 40 hours worked, including hours worked on Sunday. Do not add or drop a Sunday premium until the statute is confirmed. ## Effective dates The 40-hour rule is current on the DOL table. No January 1, 2027 change to a Sunday premium was confirmed. ## What this means for BOSS partners and associates BOSS is often the employer of record for the associate. Wage, break, leave, posting, and tax rules usually follow the state where the associate works. Tell BOSS that state before the assignment starts. Associates should record every hour worked on the timesheet. Do not promise a pay practice, a leave bank, or a posting the statute does not require. Questions?
