I can't tell if you're talking about the payout of sick time on termination, or providing paid sick time, but neither is required under either Federal or Massachusetts law. It may or may not be fair, but your employers are acting legally.

Sick Time Payout

I WOULD NOT BE TERMINATED OR QUITTING,, THEY WILL PAY ME VAC, HOL, BUT LOSE SICK TIME, I HAVE 332 HOURS, BECAUSE ONLY ONE PERSON IS SCHEDULED DAILY, EVEN WHEN I FELT SICK , I WENT IN . ALSO I BANKED THE HOURS IN CASE I REALY HAD A SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM. I FEEL THEY WAITED TILL THE LAST MINUTE TO TELL ME SO I COULD NOT LOSE IT.WOULD A LAWYER BE ABLE TO HELP IN THIS CASE. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP TIM

No, a lawyer could not help. There is absolutely no law requiring that the provide paid sick time at all, let alone that they allow you to bank it. Unless you have a bona fide, enforceable contract that says otherwise, they are acting absolutely legally.
