Employee Leave Laws by State: New Quick Reference Chart Added

Author: Melissa Burdorf, XpertHR Legal Editor

The majority of employee leave rights in the private sector come from state, rather than federal, law. Some states offer more leave rights than others. An employer must be aware of which laws apply to its workforce. To that end, XpertHR has added a Leave Laws by State chart to the Quick Reference tool.

This chart lists the leave laws passed by each state (including major municipalities where paid sick leave is trending) and to which employers they apply. The chart also includes links to more detailed information about each law.
