Bill > S4003

This bill, the Guaranteed Paid Vacation Act, would require employers to provide paid annual leave to their employees. The key provisions include: - Employees must earn at least 1 hour of paid annual leave for every 25 hours worked, up to 80 hours per year. - Employees can use their earned paid annual leave for any reason, starting 60 days after employment begins. - Employers must provide notice to employees about the paid annual leave policy and procedures. - The bill prohibits employers from interfering with or retaliating against employees for using their paid annual leave. - The Department of Labor will enforce the law and employees have a private right of action to recover damages for violations. - The bill does not diminish existing employment benefits that provide greater paid leave than what is required under the Act.
