State Leave Laws
A number of states have added their own protections for employees in those states who are required to take time off from work for medical and/or family reasons. It is important to note that these provisions are either equal to, or greater than, those provided by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act. Below you can find information on state paid sick leave laws, family leave provisions, as well as those providing for time off for medical reasons.
