Guaranteed Paid Vacation: Mandatory 80 Hours of Annual Leave for Employees
This bill mandates that employers provide paid annual vacation leave to nearly all employees nationwide. Workers will earn at least one hour of paid leave for every 25 hours worked, capped at 80 hours (two weeks) per year. This leave can be used for any reason, and employers are prohibited from requiring employees to find replacement coverage.
Key points
All employees gain the right to up to 80 hours (two weeks) of paid annual leave per year, accrued starting on the first day of employment.
Leave can be used for any purpose; employers cannot require disclosure of the reason or demand that the employee find a replacement worker.
Upon termination, employers must financially reimburse employees for all unused, accrued paid annual leave.
The law protects employees from discrimination or retaliation for exercising their right to take paid vacation time.
