Requires employers provide its employees paid leave
This bill requires most employers to provide paid leave to employees based on business size: small employers (4+ employees) must offer 40 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave annually if they earned over $1 million last year; mid-sized employers (5-99 employees) must provide 40 hours each; and large employers (100+) must provide 56 hours of paid sick leave and 40 hours of paid leave annually. It also mandates 20 hours of paid prenatal leave per 52-week period starting in 2025, with employees accruing leave at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked. The law covers leave for illness, family care, medical appointments, and safety-related reasons (including domestic violence or stalking), with "family member" defined broadly to include spouses, children, and parents. All employers must pay at the employee’s regular rate or minimum wage, whichever is higher, for covered leave.
