Requires employers to provide paid vacation time
This bill requires most employers to provide paid vacation time based on an employee's length of service. Employees working 20+ hours per week become eligible after one year (2 weeks), three years (3 weeks), and five years (4 weeks) of employment. Employers cannot penalize workers for taking vacation, must allow requests with no more than four weeks' notice, and cannot force employees to work during their paid time off. The law allows employers to offer more vacation than required but prohibits reducing or revoking accrued time based on actual hours worked.
