Requires employers to provide paid vacation time
This bill (A 892) requires most employers to provide paid vacation time based on how long an employee has worked for them. Employees working at least 20 hours per week become eligible after one year (2 weeks), three years (3 weeks), and five years (4 weeks) of service. Employers cannot penalize workers for taking vacation, must allow requests with reasonable notice (up to 4 weeks), and cannot require work during vacation time. Employers may offer more vacation than required but must pay double wages if an employee chooses to forgo their entitled vacation time.
